The first thing I'd change about that code is the whole thing of using
try/exec/except to suppress IndexError. Definitely not good code. I'm
not wholly certain, but I think you might run into weird issues with
negative OOBounds indices (since Python treats a negative list index
as counting from the far end).

This is nothing to do with your originally requested issue, which I
can't see the cause of in your script there. But when you assign a
list, you just get another reference to the same list.
