Here are some commonly used list methods in Python:

  1. append(x): Adds an item x to the end of the list.

    my_list.append(5)
  2. extend(iterable): Extends the list by appending elements from an iterable.

    my_list.extend([6, 7])
  3. insert(i, x): Inserts an item x at a given position i.

    my_list.insert(1, 'a')  # Inserts 'a' at index 1
  4. remove(x): Removes the first item from the list whose value is equal to x.

    my_list.remove(2)  # Removes the first occurrence of 2
  5. pop([i]): Removes and returns the item at the given position i in the list. If no index is specified, pop() removes and returns the last item in the list.

    last_item = my_list.pop()  # Removes and returns the last item
  6. clear(): Removes all items from the list.

    my_list.clear()
  7. index(x[, start[, end]]): Returns the index of the first item whose value is equal to x. Raises a ValueError if not found.

    index_of_3 = my_list.index(3)
  8. count(x): Returns the number of times x appears in the list.

    count_of_2 = my_list.count(2)
  9. sort(key=None, reverse=False): Sorts the items of the list in place (the arguments can be used for sorting order).

    my_list.sort()
  10. reverse(): Reverses the elements of the list in place.

    my_list.reverse()

These methods provide a variety of ways to manipulate lists in Python.
