What's the equivalent of PHP's "$my_array[]" in Python?
<p>What's the equivalent of PHP's "append to array" (<code>$my_array[] = "abc";</code>) in Python, which I have recently started learning?</p>

<p>Let's say that I've a dictionary like this:</p>

<pre><code>my_dict = {'fruits':['orange', 'pear']}
</code></pre>

<p>And now I want to add another fruit to <code>my_dict['fruits']</code>: <code>apple</code></p>
