list.insert

[Eric J. Van der Velden]

Hi,

I understand this:

l=[1,2,3]
l[1:2]=[8,9]
l

[1,8,9,3]

But how do you do this with list.insert?

Thanks,

Eric J.

l=[1,2,3]
l[1:2]=[8,9]
l

[1,8,9,3]

But how do you do this with list.insert?

>>> l = [1,2,3,4]
>>> l[1:2]=""
>>> dummy = [l.insert(1,x) for x in reversed([8,9])]

You can't clobber existing items in the list using just .insert(), so
the closest you could get is something like:
del l[1]
l.insert(1,9)
l.insert(1,8)
