I'm getting a list that I build which when printed is displaying, well, e.g.: d = << , 'Do', 'not', 'remove', 'thi', '.', ] >> Clearly I have a problem with the truncation of the final this, but what does the internal mean? It's generated by doing: print "d = <<", d, ">>" If it matters, I'm using Python 2.3.4 on Linux.
