Actually, it doesn't overwrite the list. You just don't do anything
with the list that is returned from the call inside the function.
Remember that site, all_items, and next_page are LOCAL variable; they
exist only inside that one function call. Every time you call
find_all_items, you get a brand new instance of all_items.
try:
all_items.extend( find_all_items( urllib.basejoin("<some
url>",next_page[0] ) )
