When list is initialized and equated to give the same value as list1=list2=[], then post initialization list1 & list2 are taken as same values and any changes in list2 are changed in list 1 and so on. Thus during initialization if lists are equated, they are taken as same values even if one is changed |

This is same as doing the below with list1 getting a reference of list2. Assignments in Python don't copy the value but make a reference. This is not an issue specific to IDLE as tagged and has the same behaviour under a normal REPL. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#evaluation-order >>> list2 = [] >>> list1 = list2 >>> id(list2) 4487803136 >>> id(list1) 4487803136 |
