```
>>> myList[1]
'from form'
>>> myList[1].append(s)

Traceback (most recent call last):

```

Why is `myList[1]` considered a `'str'` object? `mList[1]` returns the first item in the list `'from form'` but I cannot append to item 1 in the list `myList`.

I need to have a list of lists; so 'from form' should be a list. I did this:

```
>>> myList
[1, 'from form', [1, 2, 't']]
>>> s = myList[1]
>>> s
'from form'
>>> s = [myList[1]]
>>> s
['from form']
>>> myList[1] = s
>>> myList
[1, ['from form'], [1, 2, 't']]
>>> 

```
