Bastiaan Albarda added the comment:

The * operator lets you use the same object multiple times, thereby saving resources. 

If you want unique objects use comprehension:
>>> v = [[] for x in range(10)]
>>> v[3].append(3)
>>> v
[[], [], [], [3], [], [], [], [], [], []]
>>> v[3] += [3]
>>> v
[[], [], [], [3, 3], [], [], [], [], [], []]
