I just realized that there is a defect in my algorithm, so I will try to code
this using a recursive algorithm instead.

Very nice explanation! I've circumvented the problem by returning a
`deepcopy` of the list. I've also added an acknowledgment. The revised
code is attached.
I'd like to see both balls in numbered boxes (this code) and balls in
unnumbered (indistinguishable) boxes in Python's `itertools` module

1. Can you post the code somewhere where it's indented properly?
(http://paste.pocoo.org/)
2. In the list example you call balls_in_numbered_boxes(2, [3,3,3]) but in the
interactive example you call balls_in_numbered_boxes(3,[3,3,3])
