I was reading the Python documentation on lists and saw:

list.extend(L) Extend the list by appending all the items in the given list. Equivalent to: a[len(a):] = L.

I was wondering where I could read about the : colon to fully understand it. Python documentation for 3.4 would be very helpful.

@TimCastelijns Okay cool! I was looking around in the reputation privileges wondering why I could do that... – Andrew Clark Jun 25 '14 at 22:40
