Just replace:
     for y in list2:
with:
     if True:

But, in a real debugging situation, y would probably be used in the inner loop,
so you could instead, precede the y loop with:
     list2 = [One_object_that_list2_could_contain]

so that that the loop executes once.  Once that works, you might then 
selectively add items to your temporary list2.

Note that neither the `if` nor the `for` statement actually creates a new scope.
