Python Sort() method
<p>I am starting to learn Python.</p>

<p>Can someone explain why sort() returns None?</p>

<pre><code>alist.sort()            ## correct
alist = blist.sort()    ## NO incorrect, sort() returns None
</code></pre>

<p>Why shouldn't </p>

<pre><code>alist = blist.sort()
</code></pre>

<p>return the sorted list and give it back to alist? This does not make sense to me.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
