[Tutor] using a function and simultaneously accessing an array item(?)

[cruciatuz]

Hello tutor,

  I found in the python documentation an example
  for fetching email. there is a snipped of code
  which i don't understand:

  numMessages = len(mymail.list()[1])

  am I accessing the list which is (probably, i
  don't really know) returned from that function
  in the same line where I execute the function
  (or let's say the method)?

  I just want to be sure about it :)

  thx in advance.
