but you don’t assign to data structures, but to names. you *modify* data structures. and in the square bracket assignment syntax you don’t modify the list created by the []. in fact the [] never even create a list.

also it’s news to me that [a, b] = range(2) works!
i always did a, b = range(2), and knew that (a, b) = range(2) works.
but assigning to something looking like a list literal is new and surprising to me. (and i thought i’ve mastered every corner of python’s syntax) |
