Did you not get an error traceback? When I tried that in the interactive
shell, I got 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in ?
NameError: name 'L' is not defined

after typing in the for loop. It simply tells you that there is no
variable called L. What you need to do is to initiate L as an empty list
before entering the loop.
