Sure thing.

I'm not sure I understand your question. For one thing, in Python a list is an object (practically everything is an object in Python) so I don't understand this objection. As far as how this works, all it does is call the "range" function:

https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#range

Have you tried reading the relevant documentation? If so, maybe you could say a little bit more about what you find confusing. You could also try asking for help on the Codewars gitter:

Another silly mistake on my part - should be fixed now. Thanks!

Thank you for the supportive comment and for the feedback! I've removed the close_it() function from the example tests (copy-paste error!) and I've updated the description to explicitly mention newlines.

Yup - fixed. Thanks for the feedback!

Cool. Thanks!

Seconded.

I was able to figure out what this kata was about by looking at the test output, but I found the wording of the question to be very unclear. In particular I don't understand what 'replace at 0' means in this context. I would write something like this:

Given a sequence of integers, print each integer on a separate line and, for each integer expect the longest, prepend asterisks (*) to the output so that all of the lines are right-aligned with the longest integer. If there is only one line of input then prepend a single asterisk.

I did! I ranked and voted!

Fun problem! This is super unimportant, but you might want to consider naming the variable theta instead of theata.

This problem times out even when I just hardcode the solutions for the first few tests, e.g. the following has timed out:

def get_honor(username):
    print(username)
    if username=='dpleshkov':
        return(4926)
    elif username=='jhoffner':
        return(22721)
    elif username=='donaldsebleung':
        return(20317)
    elif username=='myjinxin2015':
        return(51340)
    elif username=='alchemy':
        return(580)

That can't be right, can it?
