2 list.count(obj)Returns count of how many times obj occurs in
list
3 list.extend(seq)Appends the contents of seq to list
4 list.index(obj) Returns the lowest index in list that obj appears
5 list.insert(index,obj)Inserts object obj into list at offset index
6 list.pop(obj=list[-1])Removes and returns last object or object
at obj from list

Python Dictionary Methods
Method Description
clear() Removes all items from the dictionary.
copy() Returns a shallow copy of the dictionary.
fromkeys(seq[, v]) Returns a new dictionary with keys from seq and value equal
to v (defaults to None).
get(key[,d]) Returns the value of the key. If the key does not exist, returns
d (defaults to None).
items() Return a new object of the dictionary's items in (key, value)
format.
keys() Returns a new object of the dictionary's keys.
pop(key[,d]) Removes the item with the key and returns its value or d if
key is not found. If d is not provided and the key is not found,
it raises KeyError.
popitem() Removes and returns an arbitrary item (key, value). Raises
KeyError if the dictionary is empty.
setdefault(key[,d]) Returns the corresponding value if the key is in the dictionary.
If not, inserts the key with a value of d and returns d (defaults
to None).
update([other]) Updates the dictionary with the key/value pairs from other,
overwriting existing keys.
values() Returns a new object of the dictionary's values
