From "What's New in Python 2.4"
http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/whatsnew/node7.html


Under "6 Other Language Changes" section:

Bullet item "There is a new built-in function
sorted(iterable) that works..." first example:

>>> L = [9,7,8,3,2,4,1,6,5]
>>> [10+i for i in sorted(L)]       # usable in a list
comprehension
[11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
>>> L = [9,7,8,3,2,4,1,6,5]         # original is left
unchanged
[9,7,8,3,2,4,1,6,5]   



To illustrate the point given in the text, the last 2
lines should be:

>>> L                                   # original is
left unchanged
[9,7,8,3,2,4,1,6,5]

That is, it should be without assignment.


Or perhaps:
>>> L == [9,7,8,3,2,4,1,6,5]         # original is left
unchanged
True
