Python Object Declaration Is Not Working

Python Object Declaration Is Not Working

I really hope this is not a repeat...if it is, I can't find an answer
anywhere, so I apologize.
Anyways, my question is, I'm writing code where, if the data I get
requires a team instead of a player, I have a class (called Team) that
holds two SinglePlayers (also a class), and then a few other attributes,
just strings. The problem is, when I iterate through my loop, reading the
xml data and filling up my "team" variable, it seems that all the info for
the SinglePlayers doesn't get reset. This is a problem, because it is is
changing that info every time I insert a new "team" into the list of
"team" objects I have. The code is long, so I'm only going to post what's
relevant.
I have only been working with python again for a few days. I have been
working the past year in java and c++ so my brain has those concepts in my
head of how variables and structures work. I know python is different, so
if someone could please clarify why this doesn't work, that would be
amazing. Thanks!
