I wanted to assign a list object to a tal global variable but I can't seem to find the correct syntax. I tried:

<div tal:define="global mylist=['item1', 'item2']" tal:content=""> blah </div>

but it doesn't like that syntax. Googling turns up thousands of items that deal with tal but I can't see a simple example of assigning a list object to a variable name.

Im not a tal expert but if you just put everthing inside of .... <div tal:define="python: mylist=[...

</div>

Your fine.

ah heck it should be: <div tal:define "someName python: alist[like so] ..." </div> where someName is global inbetween the <div>s and the "global" modifier can be pointless.
