Hi Madhu,
This is not in fact a Tkinter problem.
Try the following simplification of your code:
lbl = [[0]*2]*2
for i in range(2):
for j in range(2):
lbl[i][j] = str(i)+str(j)
print ">", i, j, lbl[i][j], lbl
print lbl
------------------
The print statement within the loops shows that
every time you change the first row of the "array",
the other row changes as well.
Try substituting the first line for:
lbl=[[0,0], [0,0]]
Then no problem, the code works as expected.
So, I cannot explain why, but your way fo initialising the
'array' (in fact, a list of lists), seems to make a list of
lists where the lists are in fact the same list.
(I have never used '*' with lists, this may be the
problem.
Try instead an intialisation like:
x=[[0 for i in range(2)] for j in range(3)]
