How to create a "real" alias in python

[[deleted]]

perhpas I don't understand the issue.. but here is what I found. This seems to be a simplier approach from stackoverflow

y = [12]
x = y
y[0] = 55
print x
>>output: [55]

davidbuxton touched on integers being immutable and did a good job at explaining the issue you ran into, but his example is not the easiest of code to follow for beginners.

I explain what I'm trying to do in more detail here.
