Python appending to two lists when it should only append to one

Question

I have a list called teams which contains two objects, these are objects of the same class and they both have a \"members\" list. I am appending to these lists individually. See

Answer 1

I think you mean members to be a member of an instance, but instead making them class members. Try this:

class Team:
    name = ""
    morale = 0

    def __init__(self, name, morale):
        self.members = []
        self.name = name
        self.morale = morale

You probably want to move all the other variables into constructors rather than keeping them as class variables. Class variables are shared by all instances and owned by class.
