#103459 — Nested List question

All,

Can you have a phython list like:
['George',
'Soros',
['99 First Street',
  '33 Broadway Avenue', ['Apt 303'],
  '1 Park Avenue'],
  'New York', 'NY']

In other words how do you correctly nest the
['Apt 303'] so it goes with 33 Broadway Avenue.

Also, I tried several ways and could not figure out
how to get the ['Apt 303'] out of the list. How can 
you do that. It is the ['Apt 303'] that is the problem,
I know how to do the other elements.

thanks
George

Sure:

$ python3
Python 3.4.3 (default, Feb 12 2016, 15:58:12) 
[GCC 4.9.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> ['George',
... 'Soros',
... ['99 First Street',
...   '33 Broadway Avenue', ['Apt 303'],
...   '1 Park Avenue'],
...   'New York', 'NY']
['George', 'Soros', ['99 First Street', '33 Broadway Avenue', ['Apt 303'], '1 Park Avenue'], 'New York', 'NY']

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by "goes with".

Use the "del" operator:

>>> foo = ['George',
... 'Soros',
... ['99 First Street',
...   '33 Broadway Avenue', ['Apt 303'],
...   '1 Park Avenue'],
...   'New York', 'NY']
>>> foo
['George', 'Soros', ['99 First Street', '33 Broadway Avenue', ['Apt 303'], '1 Park Avenue'], 'New York', 'NY']

>>> del foo[2][2]
>>> foo
['George', 'Soros', ['99 First Street', '33 Broadway Avenue', '1 Park Avenue'], 'New York', 'NY']

I don't think I understand what your problem is.
