I try to save a new list with the variables of an old list, and then .pop() the last item from the new list without affecting the old list.
new = ['Bram', 'Glenn', 'Menno']
old = ['Glenn', 'Menno', 'Eefke Maria']
print('new1', new)
print('old1', old)
new = old
print('new2', new)
print('old2', old)
new.pop()
print('new3', new)
print('old3', old)
this gives the output:
new1 ['Bram', 'Glenn', 'Menno']
old1 ['Glenn', 'Menno', 'Eefke Maria']
new2 ['Glenn', 'Menno', 'Eefke Maria']
old2 ['Glenn', 'Menno', 'Eefke Maria']
new3 ['Glenn', 'Menno']
old3 ['Glenn', 'Menno']
But I would like the output:
new1 ['Bram', 'Glenn', 'Menno']
old1 ['Glenn', 'Menno', 'Eefke Maria']
new2 ['Glenn', 'Menno', 'Eefke Maria']
old2 ['Glenn', 'Menno', 'Eefke Maria']
new3 ['Glenn', 'Menno']
old3 ['Glenn', 'Menno', 'Eefke Maria']
Is it the way I store my list variables?
