Of course. The expression within the list comprehension is evaluated for
each iteration, so that the objects are recreated each time. The copy()
for the dictionary is also not needed:
>>> parinfo = [{'value':0., 'fixed':0, 'limited':[0,0],
'limits':[0.,0.]} for i in xrange(0,6)]
>>> parinfo
[{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0}]
>>> parinfo[0]['limited']
[0, 0]
>>> parinfo[0]['limited'][0]=1
>>> parinfo
[{'limited': [1, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0},
{'limited': [0, 0], 'fixed': 0, 'limits': [0.0, 0.0], 'value': 0.0}]
