[New-bugs-announce] [issue3072] Assignment to list of lists gives incorrect result

[Steve Emmert]

New submission from Steve Emmert <steve.eileen at gmail.com>:

This bug is explained in the attached file.  The list of lists does not
behave correctly when it is defined by the makeGrid function in the
attached file.  When attempting to set the value of one element, it
actually sets multiple elements.  The same operation works differently
when the list of lists is defined with a literal.  I am using version
2.5.2 with Windows XP.  I am just learning Python, so I may have gotten
some terminology wrong.
