Hello,
I am trying to append a list to another list, but everytime I do, the new
parent list has a new child list, but all the other lists have become the same
as the new child list.
Code:
self._f.write(str(self.residue.atoms[int(t[0])-1].element) + ' ')
for m in t:
self._f.write(str(m)+' ')
self._f.write('\n')
self.a.append(t) # WHY DOES THIS NOT WORK?????
print self.a
Output:
[[1, 234, 543]]
[[1, 234, 548], [1, 234, 548]]
[[1, 234, 59], [1, 234, 59], [1, 234, 59]]
[[1, 237, 543], [1, 237, 543], [1, 237, 543], [1, 237, 543]]
I'm guessing what you mean is:
for m in t:
self.... # misc filewriting
self.a.append(m) # appending *items* of t
print self.a
See if that little difference works.
