[Zope] replace values in a list or dictionary

[TFE MMS JARVIS JOHN]

maybe you could do:

<!--#call "REQUEST.set('L',[1]+L[1:_.len(L)])"-->

this would create a new list with the first item being 1
and the rest being, well, the rest and replace the old list.

Pretty ugly, though...

BTW, I had a similar problem about 10 minutes ago 
with dictionaries. A solution I found:

<!--#call "REQUEST.mydict.update({'key':'value})"-->

HTH,
