create those methods from a base set of :meth:`__getitem__`,

should provide methods :meth:`append`, :meth:`count`, :meth:`index`,

implement addition (meaning concatenation) and multiplication (meaning
repetition) by defining the methods :meth:`__add__`, :meth:`__radd__`,
:meth:`__iadd__`, :meth:`__mul__`, :meth:`__rmul__` and :meth:`__imul__`

recommended that both mappings and sequences implement the :meth:`__contains__`
method to allow efficient use of the ``in`` operator; for mappings, ``in``
should search the mapping's keys; for sequences, it should search
through the values. It is further recommended that both mappings and sequences
implement the :meth:`__iter__` method to allow efficient iteration through the
container; for mappings, :meth:`__iter__` should be the same as
objects. The :mod:`collections` module provides a :class:`MutableMapping`
