The is operator compares the identity of two objects. x is y only when x and y refer to the same object. x = [0,0,0] y = x print(x is y) Use the id() function to check the identity of objects. If id(x) and id(y) are the same, then (x is y) is true. https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#id Also compare '==' vs 'is'. https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/1122173/

What do you mean by saying " Why y[0][0] = 1 is different from z[0][0] = 1"? Can you give a bit more details?

Even if the code was like this y=[[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,0]] z=[[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,0]] print(y is z) it will still print false, this is not the correct usage for "is" Use ==
