A Python list is an ordered collection of items, which can be of different types (e.g., integers, strings). Lists are mutable, meaning their elements can be modified after creation. Lists are defined using square brackets [], with elements separated by commas. Example:
my_list = [1, 2, ‘apple’, 3.14]
You can access, add, remove, and modify elements using indices or methods like .append(), .remove(), and .pop().
