I have a list L = [a13 == a10, a14 == a11, a15 == a12, a16 == a7, a17 == a8, a18 == a9]

I then have a running through a loop giving it these values

a = 1

a = 2a15a16 + 2a13a17 + 2a13a18 +1849

etc

I have

print(a)

a.subs(L)

print(a)

and it indicates no change, but I would of thought/ expected substitution to of taken place. Maybe I am being idiot, but please tell me where. I also posted this on stack overflow, sorry if I am not meant to post on both.

Thanks.

This works as expected:

V = [var("a{}".format(k)) for k in [7..18]]
L = [a13 == a10, a14 == a11, a15 == a12, a16 == a7, a17 == a8, a18 == a9]
a = 2*a15*a16 + 2*a13*a17 + 2*a13*a18 + 1849 
print a
b = a.subs(L)
print b

Please note: a.subs(L) does not change a in place.
