You are not supposed to assign it to any variable, when you append something in the list, it updates automatically. use only:-

last_list.append(p.last)

if you assign this to a variable "last_list" again, it will no more be a list (will become a none type variable since you haven't declared the type for that) and append will become invalid in the next run.

When doing pan list append p last  you re doing an inplace operation  that is an operation that modifies the object and returns nothing  i e  None    You should do something like this     last list    if p last name  None or p last name           pass last list append p last     Here I modify the last list  no affectation print last list

list is mutable  Change   last list last list append p last name    to   last list append p last name    will work

I think what you want is this   last list    if p last name    None and p last name            last list append p last name  print last list   Your current if statement   if p last name    None or p last name            pass   Effectively never does anything   If p last name is none or the empty string  it does nothing inside the loop   If p last name is something else  the body of the if statement is skipped   Also  it looks like your statement pan list append p last  is a typo  because I see neither pan list nor p last getting used anywhere else in the code you have posted
