Help! I need a list, not a pointer to it

[Sorin Schwimmer]

Hi All,

The following code:

<code>
r=3
c=1
solutions=[]
matrix=[[1.0], [0], [0]]
j=0
while j<c:
  i=0
  j=0
  more=True
  while more:
    while not matrix[i][j]:
      i+=1
    i+=1
    if i==r:
      matrix[0][j]=matrix[i-1][j]
      matrix[i-1][j]=0
      i=0
      j+=1
      if j==c: more=False
    else:
      matrix[i][j]=matrix[i-1][j]
      matrix[i-1][j]=0
      more=False
  print matrix
  solutions.append(matrix) # same result with matrix[:]
print solutions
</code>

gives:
[[0], [1.0], [0]]
[[0], [0], [1.0]]
[[1.0], [0], [0]]
[[[1.0], [0], [0]], [[1.0], [0], [0]], [[1.0], [0], [0]]]
(i.e. the last value of matrix, three times)

How can I end up with:
[[0], [1.0], [0]]
[[0], [0], [1.0]]
[[1.0], [0], [0]]
[[[0], [1.0], [0]], [[0], [0], [1.0]], [[1.0], [0], [0]]]
(i.e. each value of matrix)?

I'm on Python 2.4.1, under Linux.

Thanks,
Sorin
