New submission from Marvin Mundry <marvin....@gmx.de>:

>>> m1=[[0,0,0,0]]*4
>>> m1
[[0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0]]
>>> m1[0][0]+=1
>>> m1
[[1, 0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0, 0]]

after initializing an array of arrays as done in the first line of the code 
snippet all elements in the array point to the same object in memory.
