I am a beginner in python. I want to Create new List object in python.

My Code:

recordList=[]

mappedDictionay={}

sectionGroupName= None

for record in recordCols:
    item = record
    print item

    if not sectionGroupName == record[0]:
        sectionGroupName = record[0]
        del recordList[0:] # Here I want to create new list object for recordList
        recordList.append(item)
        mappedDictionay[sectionGroupName] = recordList
    else:
        recordList.append(tempItem)
python list
