I think you already got your answer. I did however want to point out the time
it took you to write this email you could have ran up a python interpreter and
tried it both ways. I have found that to be the best way to clarify what those
docs say.

Hi,
One of the most frustrating things in life is to try to read programming
documentation written by programmers. It's not clear at all, so here goes my
questioning.
Are they trying to say that the difference between append and extend is
basically that you can only append one of something to the end of the list and
that when you use extend that you can append multiple things? And a related
question is: when you use extend, are you allowed to put any kind of thing you
want onto the end of a list? For example, if you have a list of strings, can
you use extend to put a string and a list of strings onto the end of your list?
I don't know why you'd do that, but I'm just asking if you can.
Thanks.
