There is just nothing like finding something that will crash the interpreter
I have only found 3 such crash bugs and all that does is drop you to the
command line. So feel no fear and give it a go.

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.
