I have this function that takes in a 2d array, and returns a string. the string is supposed to have columns, where each column is a list from the 2d array. for some reason, something goes wrong when printing the middle 3 lists, and i cant figure out why. does anyone know what is wrong?

    def printFancyNetwork(self) -> None:
       
        temp_network: list = self.network
        to_be_printed: str = ""

        while True:
            total_empty: int = 0

            for layer in temp_network:
                if len(layer) != 0:
                    to_be_printed += f"{layer[0]}    "
                    layer.pop(0)
                else:
                    total_empty += 1
                    to_be_printed += "      "
                  
            to_be_printed += "n"

            if total_empty == len(temp_network):
                    return to_be_printed
                    

heres some test output where each block is an iteration in the for loop (except for the inital list and final string)

Inital: [[0.5, 0.5], [0.4, 0.4, 0.4], [0.4, 0.4, 0.4], [0.4, 0.4, 0.4], [0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0.3]]

[[0.5], [0.4, 0.4, 0.4], [0.4, 0.4, 0.4], [0.4, 0.4, 0.4], [0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0.3]]
[[0.5], [0.4, 0.4], [0.4, 0.4], [0.4, 0.4], [0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0.3]]
[[0.5], [0.4], [0.4], [0.4], [0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0.3]]
[[0.5], [], [], [], [0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0.3]]
[[0.5], [], [], [], [0.3, 0.3, 0.3]]

[[], [], [], [], [0.3, 0.3, 0.3]]
[[], [], [], [], [0.3, 0.3, 0.3]]

[[], [], [], [], []]

[[], [], [], [], []]

Final:
0.5    0.4    0.4    0.4    0.3
0.5                      0.3
                        0.3
                        0.3

I tried creating a copy by using

self.network.copy()

but it didnt seem to have an effect
