By the way, aside from the Unicode-encoding issue, you seem
to be coming from a language background where you have to
declare things. In python, you could do the above as:
l = [u"Möälasdji"]
or, if you have to add several things to the list,
one at a time, say from a text file, you can use
append for the most obvious add-to-end case:
l = []
l.append ("Hello")
l.append ("World")
Obviously, if you do really want to add at the
beginning of the list, you can use insert (0, ...)
as you have, but it might just as good to append
as above, and then to reverse the list, ie:
l = []
l.insert (0, "Hello")
l.insert (0, "World")
is equivalent to:
l = []
l.append ("Hello")
l.append ("World")
l.reverse ()
