The problem is that you are passing the same OPTION objects to SELECT each
time, and when you set the "value" attribute of SELECT, it *mutates* the
OPTION objects. So, the final pass through the loop sets the OPTION
objects, which appear in each of the SELECT objects.
Instead, you should create new OPTION objects for each SELECT.
Also, there is no reason to create a "shifts" dictionary -- just iterate
over a list:
for row in ['1', '2', '3']:
Also, keep in mind that unless you are using Python 3.7, there is no
guarantee regarding the order of iteration over dictionary keys.
