New submission from Andrew Chong <sledge76 at hotmail.com>:

This shows unexpected behavior.

>>> data2 = [[]] * 4
>>> print data2
[[], [], [], []]
>>> data2[0] += [(0,1)]
>>> print data2
[[(0, 1)], [(0, 1)], [(0, 1)], [(0, 1)]]

I added a tuple to only 0th list, but it got added to all the lists in the global list.

----------
components: +None
type:  -> behavior
