I'm very aware of what you mentioned but...all I "wanted" in this case is a visual separator in my terminal when I'm working with lots of output. I don't care whether each "* " refers to the same object, I just want a line :) With that being said, if I want to merge two lists and apply an operation on each, I don't see what's the issue with: In [1]: a = [1,2,3] In [2]: b = [5,6,7] In [3]: c = a+b In [4]: c Out[4]: [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7] In [5]: d = [x*4 for x in c] Out[6]: [4, 8, 12, 20, 24, 28]
