How to have a list with all the same items, but the length be equal to and equation

Question

I'm wondering how to have a list with all the same items, but the length be equal to and equation, for example:

myList = 'a' * 10

but this gives you

myList = 'aaaaaaaaaa'

when I want

myList = a, a, a, a, etc.

Your syntax is slighty off: use `['a'] * 10` instead. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3459098/create-list-of-single-item-repeated-n-times-in-python — user268396, May 14 '16 at 21:21

This looks like the shortest way:

['a']*10
