[IPython-user] lazy python; archive search

[Matt Wilkie]

Hello ipy, I have two questions today:

1)  is there an easy way to create lists n such without having to
quote everything? e.g.
"plans = [84574 85779 86458]" ---->
"plans = ['84574','85779','86458']"

2)  are there searchable ipython mailing list archives? the index at
http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/ is handy but not very good
for finding things you don't know about already.

thanks!
