Re: Problem with list.insert

Some people in the room told I am kidding, but I learnt Python from
Python docs which gives examples like these,
But I write explicit comments,
an excerpt from python docs:
# Measure some strings:
.... a = ['cat', 'window', 'defenestrate']
for x in a:
.... print x, len(x)
....
cat 3
window 6
defenestrate 12
But well, if you are suggesting improvement I'll surely listen.

The outputs are given in Hindi, it is a dictionary look up program,
the matching words are in Hindi, you may leave aside them.
How to debug the result string is to see the words which are in
English as the group page does not take italics so I am putting one
asterisk* after it
NO PROBLEM:
INPUT:
he has come
OUTPUT IS
उओह/ उन्होने रहेसाक्ता २.यात्राकरना
PROBLEM:
INPUT:
(i) Lincoln* has come
OUTPUT IS:
रहेसाक्ता २.यात्राकरना lincoln*
lincoln lincoln* रहेसाक्ता २.यात्राकरना lincoln
lincoln lincoln* lincoln* रहेसाक्ता २.यात्राकरना lincoln
….and increasing the number and seems a never ending process.
MY EXPEPECTED STRING IS:
lincoln रहेसाक्ता २.यात्राकरना lincoln^
The latter places marked^ I am editing don't worry for that,
though MY FINAL EXPECTED STRING IS:
lincoln रहेसाक्ता २.यात्राकरना
Best Regards,
Subhabrata.

a1, a2, a2, …, a20? You must be kidding. Please stop numbering names
and use *meaningful* names instead!

Could you describe them problem better, with sample inputs and expected
outputs. There must be a better way that that unreadable mess above.
