>>> tab = [['x']3]3 >>> tab [['x', 'x', 'x'], ['x', 'x', 'x'], ['x', 'x', 'x']] >>> tab[1][0] = 5 >>> tab [[5, 'x', 'x'], [5, 'x', 'x'], [5, 'x', 'x']] >>> why not only the element tab[1][0] is changed ?

>>> tab = [['x']*3]*3
>>> tab
[['x', 'x', 'x'], ['x', 'x', 'x'], ['x', 'x', 'x']]
>>> tab[1][0] = 5
>>> tab
[[5, 'x', 'x'], [5, 'x', 'x'], [5, 'x', 'x']]
