Creating an empty list in Python

Question

What is the best way to create a new empty list in Python?

l = [] 

or

l = list()

I am asking this because

Answer 1

I do not really know about it, but it seems to me, by experience, that jpcgt is actually right. Following example: If I use following code

t = [] # implicit instantiation
t = t.append(1)

in the interpreter, then calling t gives me just "t" without any list, and if I append something else, e.g.

t = t.append(2)

I get the error "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'append'". If, however, I create the list by

t = list() # explicit instantiation

then it works fine.
