This is not a bug, it is working correctly, as designed. List multiplication does not *copy* the list, it replicates the reference to the same list object. So [[0]]*5 does not make five different sublists, but the same list repeated five times. Exactly the same as this: a = [0] mylist = [a, a, a, a, a] ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43157> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
