Best way to do what?  That could be written as:

  def get_buffer():
      buffer = [None] * 512
      print "Buffer: %s" % buffer
      return buffer

In your code, no matter if index equals 1 or 2, a list with 512 `None`s is
created, printed and then returned.

It would be really better if you describe *what* you want to achieve, not
*how*.  And in words please, not in code snippets.
