Some of your Lisp translations are subtly off...

If you want to make a chained structure, then perhaps you know LISP?
This is what the basic machinery of LISP looks like in Python:
def cons(a,b)
return [a,b]
should be:
return [a].extend(b)
def car(structure)
return structure[0]
def cdr(structure)
return structure[1]
should be:
return structure[1:]
B.
