# Showcase - python list
```rust
// the crate name is 'python-objects'
// because there is another crate out there with `python` name
// but the lib.rs (library crate of this crate) its called `python`
// so you can import like this
extern crate python;
// actually 'extern crate' is useless
// just use only 'use python::'
// use everything from python
use python::*;
fn main() {
// create a new python list
let mut python_list =
List::from(String::from("123123"));
// at this point the list will look like this
// ['1', '2', '3', '1', '2', '3']
// append an integer
python_list.append_back(123);
// append a rust static string
python_list.append_front("hello");
python_list.append_back(123);
// append a list
python_list.append_back(List::from(String::from("working")));
// note that the python list supports another python list inside
// append a float
python_list.append_back(123.123);
python_list.append_back(123.123);
python_list.append_back(123.123);
// append a rust String
python_list.append_back(String::from("asdasd"));
python_list.append_back(
List::from("something".to_string()));
// append a python string
// note that this _String is from this crate
// its the struct that handles the String and &str data types
python_list.append_back(
_String::from(
String::from("python string")));
// append a python bool
// note that Bool is the python struct that handles rust's bool
python_list.append_back(Bool::new(true));
python_list.append_back(Bool::new(false));
// append a rust bool
python_list.append_back(false);
// print just like in python
print(&python_list);
// use len just like in python
print(len(&python_list));
// python_list.append_front("salutare");
// iterate over the list just like in python
// there are plans for future to remove the .iter()
// so you can use for o in python_list { ... }, just that simple
for o in python_list.iter() {
print(o)
}
// create a python from parsing a static string
let list_from_str = "123123".parse::<List>().unwrap();
print(&list_from_str);
let iter = (0..5).into_iter();
// let list_from_iterator: List = iter.collect();
// create a python list from rust iterator
let list_from_iterator = iter.collect::<List>();
print(&list_from_iterator);
}
```
output
```shell

as you can see the list contains `char`, `float (f32)`, `integer (i32)`, `a rust string`, `another python list`, a `python string` and many more data types.
this is just `bare bones` and `experimental`, more features will come soon. stay still!
