How can I compare two ordered lists in python?

Question

If I have one long list: myList = [0,2,1,0,2,1] that I split into two lists:

a = [0,2,1]
b = [0,2,1]

how can I compare these t

Answer 1

Just use the classic == operator:

>>> [0,1,2] == [0,1,2]
True
>>> [0,1,2] == [0,2,1]
False
>>> [0,1] == [0,1,2]
False

Lists are equal if elements at the same index are equal. Ordering is taken into account then.
