list.append not working?

[Abhishek Jain]

with every iteration your previous values are overwritten ('md' is a
dictionary) so thats why your are observing this ouput..

check  if the following patch solves your problem

for entity in temp:
            md['module']= entity.addr.get('module')
            md['id']=entity.addr.get('id')
            md['type']=entity.addr.get('type')
            #print md
            mbusentities.append(md)
            md = {}
            #print mbusentities
