[Zope] tal assignment

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. -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax: 602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
