Create a shared ``list`` object and return a proxy for it.
+ .. note::
+
+ Modifications to mutable values or items in dict and list proxies will not
+ be propagated through the manager, because the proxy has no way of knowing
+ when its values or items are modified. To modify such an item, you can
+ re-assign the modified object to the container proxy::
+
+ # create a list proxy and append a mutable object (a dictionary)
+ lproxy = manager.list()
+ lproxy.append({})
+ # now mutate the dictionary
+ d = lproxy[0]
+ d['a'] = 1
+ d['b'] = 2
+ # at this point, the changes to d are not yet synced, but by
+ # reassigning the dictionary, the proxy is notified of the change
+ lproxy[0] = d
