Hi Ned, below is the capture of my terminal screen:

D:\Temp>python
Python 3.4.4 (v3.4.4:737efcadf5a6, Dec 20 2015, 19:28:18) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (In

>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__']

>>> from deen import *
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__',
 'gpa', 'tbli', 'tblm']
>>> tblm
[0, 0, 0]
>>> tblm=tbli
>>> tblm
[102, 39, 208]
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__',
 'gpa', 'tbli', 'tblm']
>>>

Do you mean the last 'tblm' is my own? How it can be? The 'tblm' already exist before the assignment and this assignment shouldn't create a new one, right? and how do I assign the 'deen.tblm' under this circumstance?
