[melbourne-pug] Question about adding members to list : hypothetical just for interest kind of question

[David Crisp]

Thanks for the thoughts!

In this case I am reading in data from a SQL database query(pymssql) and 
feeding it into an excel spreedsheet (xlwt) Line by line which means I 
have to assemble the dict line by line.

And yes,  the name i chose in the email to represent what I was doing was 
generic.  THe one I am actually using is representative of the data its 
holding! :)   as apposed to a generic word which could actually be a 
keyword!

And Yes yes,  Theres quite a lot of data.  Many of these query returns 
have 3000 rows of data!

Regards,
David
