浅拷贝，为什么列表没有改变(Shallow copy, why does the list not change)

 我想了解python中浅拷贝和深拷贝之间的区别。 我在这里阅读了很多帖子，他们一直很有帮助。 但是，我仍然不太了解这种差异。 有人可以请解释下面结果的原因。 评论中指出了我不理解的结果。 
 
 非常感谢。 
 
import copy
import random

class understand_copy(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.listofvalues = [4, 5]

    def set_listofvalues(self, pos, value):
        self.listofvalues[pos] = value

ins = understand_copy()

newins = copy.copy(ins)

newins.set_listofvalues(1,3)
print "ins = ", ins.listofvalues
print "in newins", newins.listofvalues
# Gives the following output as I would expect based on the explanations.
# prints ins = [4, 3]
# prints newins = [4, 3]


newins.listofvalues.append(5)
print "ins =", ins.listofvalues
print "newins =", newins.listofvalues
# Gives the following output as I would expect based on the explanations.
# prints ins = [4, 3, 5]
# prints newins = [4, 3, 5]


newins.listofvalues = [10, 11]
print "ins = ", ins.listofvalues
print "newins = ", newins.listofvalues
# Gives
# ins = [4, 3, 5]
# newins = [10, 11]
# This is the output that I do not understand. 
# Why does ins.listofvalues not change this case.**

I am trying to understand the difference between shallow copy and deep copy in python. I read many posts here and they have been helpful. However, I still don't understand the difference well. Can someone please explain the reason for the result below. The result that I do not understand is indicated in the comments. 
 
Thanks very much.
