But sometimes you have to answer something else to give a meaningfull reply.

I the example certianly belive it to be relevant to show that you can 
use pythons dynamic features, and rename a local member to get the same 
effect::

     aList = self.aList

Which basically solves the problem he was having. Though not in the way 
he asked for. There are many examples of this in Python, when people 
with different backgrounds gives it a try.

So second guessing is nessecary.
