[Idle-dev] Is this a bug

[Weeble]

It doesn't *look* like a bug, nor does it seem to be related to IDLE -
the results are just the same when you run it directly from the
command-line. What were you expecting to happen? You are creating an
empty list, then repeatedly using slice assignment to replacing its
tail. Did you intend to use slice assignment? "v[me:]" is slice
notation for "the part of the list beginning at element index me and
continuing to the end of the list". I would guess that perhaps you
meant:

a=10
x=0
y=0
z=0

v=[]
for me in range(a):
        x=x+2
        y=y+4
        z=z+6
        v.append((x, y, z))
        print v[me]
for e in range(a):
        print v[e]

or even

a=10
x=0
y=0
z=0

v={}
for me in range(a):
        x=x+2
        y=y+4
        z=z+6
        v[me] = x, y, z
        print v[me]
for e in range(a):
        print v[e]

Your question is not really suited to idle-dev, which is about
development of the IDLE editor for Python. You will likely get much
better answers next time if you try the python-help mailing list or a
newsgroup like comp.lang.python.
