How to alter this code to allow appending to the list?

Question

I have an issue appending or in fact printing anything after this block of code:

reversedPriv = [52,27,13,6,3,2]
array= [9]
var = 0
numA = []
for i in array:

So in general, it's a good idea on SO to be clear about just what the question is, but it's often better to provide the context of your question.

What you are working on is a fragment of a knapsack solver. As mentioned in my comments below, you may do better to just use or-tools out of the box as follows (taken from https://developers.google.com/optimization/bin/knapsack):

from ortools.algorithms.pywrapknapsack_solver import KnapsackSolver

def knapsack():
    solver = KnapsackSolver(
       KnapsackSolver.KNAPSACK_MULTIDIMENSION_BRANCH_AND_BOUND_SOLVER,
      'KnapsackExample'
    )
    weights = [[52,27,13,6,3,2]]
    capacities = [9]

    solver.Init(weights[0], weights, capacities)
    computed_value = solver.Solve()

    packed_items = []
    packed_weights = []
    total_weight = 0
    print('Total value =', computed_value)
    for i in range(len(weights[0])):
        if solver.BestSolutionContains(i):
            packed_items.append(i)
            packed_weights.append(weights[0][i])
            total_weight += weights[0][i]

    print('Total weight:', total_weight)
    print('Packed items:', packed_items)
    print('Packed_weights:', packed_weights)

knapsack()

Console:

Total value = 9
Total weight: 9
Packed items: [3, 4]
Packed_weights: [6, 3]
