Hi Python experts! Please explain this behavior:
>>> nn=3*[[]]
>>> nn
[[], [], []]
>>> mm=[[],[],[]]
>>> mm
[[], [], []]
Up till now, 'mm' and 'nn' look the same, right? Nope!
>>> mm[1].append(17)
>>> mm
[[], [17], []]
>>> nn[1].append(17)
>>> nn
[[17], [17], [17]]

Thank
The issue is exhausted in Python Library Reference, Chapter 3.6, so I
should apologize for initial posting. All comments were helpful,
though Arnaud and Steve are right that pass-by-anything is off the
point.
Thanks All!
