I know I’m being somewhat pedantic but range() returns an iterable range type, not a list, in python 3.

1. list.append returns None so what you’ve actually got is a list comprehension that generates a list containing the value None 19 times. (using functions with side effects, such as list.append, in list comprehensions are generally bad style so you should avoid this)
2. The list[...] syntax retrieves elements from the list, which is not what you’re trying to do here. (and it is actually invalid syntax in this case)
3. You should generally avoid calling lists list, because list is already a builtin.

If you want to append the numbers 1 to 19 to a list as you’re trying to do you can call the list.extend function with the list comprehension [value for value in range(1, 20)] as the argument. (Although in this case you can also just use the range directly.) To do it without list comprehensions you can simply loop over the range and repeatedly call the append function.

You can also use & to get &.

Edit: Fuck, I meant &

Edit 2: &

Okay nevermind, either lemmy or sync resolves html entities recursively apparently.

Edit 3: &
