my_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
new_list = my_list[:3] + ['new'] + my_list[3:]
# essentially: ['a', 'b', 'c'] + ['new'] + ['d', 'e']
print new_list
Any questions, feel free to ask. |
IIRC for replacement you can also do "mylist[startrange:endrange] = somelist", eg: "mylist[3:4] = ['new']", making startrange and endrange identical if you want insertion.
