popleft is shift in many other languages.

Not all languages manipulate arrays in the same way re ref/value.

Not all languages have the concept of range() - you could have used a simple array to be more language agnostic.

(I'm sure I could have found more, but I'm Python isn't a language I spend much time in)

Yes, but finding answers required to understand what was set by ref, and what was set by value, which wasn't in any comments.
