Hi, I am an unabashed noob.
I am trying to build a list to store values that are generated through a loop. However, every time I append the variable to the list, I'd like to reset the variable, but have the value persist in the loop. I understand why this doesn't work because it's a reference not a literal value but have been unsuccessful at using copy.copy() or anything else to accomplish this: for char in splitlines[r]: if char == "\n": temp = copy.deepcopy(templine) individline.append(temp) templine = "" else: templine += char results.append(individline) This just gives me the last element in splitlines[r] - what i want is to persist each line that is parsed from splitlines[] into the results list.
