How do I do the following in python?
a = ['foo']
b = a
b.append('bar')
print(a) # ['foo']
print(b) # ['foo', 'bar']
I essentially need the behavior of "new" in other keywords

you just need to make a copy of a instead of "b" being a reference to the object pointed to by a. try `b = a.copy()` – Paritosh Singh Mar 04 '19 at 17:14
