title: How do I store Information when I run the program
body: <p>How do I store Information in python when I run it?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>list = [""]
  plist = raw_input("What do you want to append: ")
  list.append(plist)
  print list
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When it's run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>What do you want to append: Hello
  Hello
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now let's say I left to go eat then I come back, I run the program:</p>
  
  <pre><code>What do you want to append: People
  People
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that the program didn't store the word Hello and kept People. How do I make python store all the information I write in the raw_input store it?</p>
