It's cool.  *grin*

One small comment: we often don't need to use temporary variables like 
'var'.

    def return_a_list(some_var):
        some_list = []
        for i in range(5):
            some_list.append(some_var + i)
        return some_list

Sometimes a temporary variable is useful, and sometimes not.  Here, it 
seems like it's not too necessary.


Good luck!
