I have a nested list. Whenever I make a copy of the list, changes in one affect

No, actually that's the OK code. http://jimbopy.pastebay.net/1090494 is the
broken one.
I've not been following this thread fully, but why not just use
x=list(y) to copy the list?
The issue is that when you assign i=[1,2,3] and then j = i, j is just a
reference to i, which is why you change either and the other changes.
