Just wondered if there was some python idiom for moving a few items
from one list to another. I often need to delete 2 or 3 items from one
list and put them in another. Delete doesn't seem to have a return
value. I don't care which items I get so now I just use a couple of
pops or a for loop for more than two.
Thanks

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but if the elements in the
list are contiguous you can just use list slicing/addition, like this:
a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
b = [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
b = a[2:] + b
a = a[:2]
Now the contents of a and b respectively are a = [1, 2] and b = [3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10].

Thanks.
That will work. The 2nd, smaller lst starts out empty but this is
easily adapted.

>>x = range(10) y = []
>>y.append(x.po p(4)) print x, y
[0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] [4]
>>y.append(x.po p(7)) print x, y
[0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9] [4, 8]

When lists become large this is less convenient because it has to build
three intermediate lists. At least on my box, pop+append is 5 orders of
magnitude faster (but as shown on another posts, you should test on your
box to see what happens):
c:\temp>call python -m timeit -s "a=range(100000 0);b=range(1000 )"
"b.append(a .po
p())"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.35 usec per loop
c:\temp>call python -m timeit -s "a=range(100000 0);b=range(1000 )"
"b+=a[-1:];a=a
[:-1]"
10 loops, best of 3: 107 msec per loop
c:\temp>call python -m timeit -s "a=range(100000 0);b=range(1000 )"
"b.append(a[-1
]);a=a[:-1]"
10 loops, best of 3: 107 msec per loop
c:\temp>call python -m timeit -s "a=range(100000 0);b=range(1000 )"
"b.append(a[0]
);a=a[1:]"
10 loops, best of 3: 110 msec per loop

Hi everyone,
One of my Windows forms contain two listbox controls, with Add and Remove
buttons between them.
The idea is to allow users to select multiple items from one ListBox, click
the Add button, and the selected items will move to the second ListBox.
I've been trying to use the ListBox.SelectedObjectCollection with no
success. It sounds like the logical thing to use but I can't seem to find

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
