Hi all! I have a problem understanding the behaviour of this snippet:
data_set = ({"param":"a"},{"param":"b"},{"param":"c"}) for i in range(len(data_set)): ds = data_set[:] data = ds[i] if i == 1: data['param'] = "y" if i == 2: data['param'] = "x" print data_set This script print out: ({'param': 'a'}, {'param': 'y'}, {'param': 'x'}) Why? I'm coping data_set in ds so why data_set is changed? Thanks in advance. Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
