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.pop(4)) print x, y
[0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] [4]
>>y.append(x.pop(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(1000000);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(1000000);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(1000000);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(1000000);b=range(1000)"
"b.append(a[0]
);a=a[1:]"
10 loops, best of 3: 110 msec per loop
