lists

I have a list L of objects (for what it's worth this is in scons). I would like to create two lists L1 and L2 where L1 is L with an item I1 appended, and L2 is L with an item I2 appended.

I would use append but that modifies the original list.

How can I do this in Python? (sorry for the beginner question, I don't use the language much, just for scons)

Wouldn't a Set be a better fit, since in the case of listeners there's No matter in which order they get called (although… >>> More
