for ins in inp:
    print "-----> " + ins.id
    for fl in ins.fld:
        print fl

Trying to understand why 18.print prints all the 12_17.appends
I am completely new and practising. Pls help!

The way your class is written the list 'fld' is global to all instances of the class. You need to write your class this way ...

class A:
   id = ""
   #fld = []
   def __init__(self, id):
       self.fld = []
       self.id = id
