*What* doesn't work?  Tell us what you expect this code to do, and
what it does instead.  Don't make us guess; there's several
strange things in this code.

Why do you think this?  Again, don't make us guess.

Now I'll guess.  I guess that you're seeing an exception raised at
the line
    list[i]=data[0], data[1], address
One obvious problem here is that you nowhere create an object by
the name 'list'; so instead this name will refer to the built-in
list type, which cannot be subscripted.  If this happens to be
your problem, then adding
    mylist = []
up top (before the loop) and changing that line to
    mylist[i] = data[0], data[1], address
will fix *that* problem.  Then you'll encounter another problem on
the same line.
