Assign to a slice of a Python list from a lambda
- by Bushman
I know that there are certain "special" methods of various objects that represent operations that would normally be performed with operators (i.e. int.__add__ for +, object.__eq__ for ==, etc.), and that one of them is list.__setitem, which can assign a value to a list element. However, I need a function that can assign a list into a slice of another list.
Basically, I'm looking for the expression equivalent of some_list[2:4] = [2, 3].
