Based on the output above, I'd say: aList = [42,] another = [1, 2, 7] Whereas your definition, in your original email: aList = [2,3] bList = [5,7,9] Do you see the difference between the two (aside from the different variable names)? > I expected to get the third element of the second list printed In your example, that would be the 'second' item in your bList (because lists are zero-based): bList[2] == 9 After 'append'ing bList to aList, aList has three items. Try this at the python command line: print aList[0] print aList[1] print aList[2] Two of those will be integers, One will be a list. I hope that helps.
