random.rand returns a list. x is a label to this list (container). y=x creates another label to the same container/list. y[0[ = 12 alters the 0th position of the container. print x[0], uses a different label 'x' to change the same container. use: y = list(x) to do a 'shallow copy' of x into a new list container -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
