Is that REALLY what the code looks like? Or does it actually look like
this:
comments = []
comment = models.comment()
for row in rows:
comment.author = row[1]
comment.text = row[0]
comments.append(comment)
That construct would produce exactly the result you describe. You would
also get the result you describe if models.comment() were a normal function
that returns a single object, instead of a class name, as I have assumed.
