How to fix tic-tac-toe two player bug

I am trying to make a tic-tac-toe game however when I try implement two players, the printed out result (current game state) is not as expected. for example when I try to put the letter 'x' in box 1 it will add random letters/numbers in different spots. I have already tried this with only one player and it wrks perfectly.

import random  a = ' '  b = ' '  c = ' '  d = ' '  e = ' '  f = ' '  g = ' '  h = ' '  i = ' '  def gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i):      x = [a, b, c]      y = [d, e, f]      z = [g, h, i]        print(x)      print(y)      print(z)  gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)    def checkwin():      if a == 0 and b == 0 and c == 0:          print('Winner')      if a == 0 and d == 0 and g == 0:          print('Winner')      if g == 0 and h == 0 and i == 0:          print('Winner')      if c == 0 and e == 0 and g == 0:          print('Winner')      if a == 0 and e == 0 and i == 0:          print('Winner')      if c == 0 and f == 0 and i == 0:          print('Winner')        for i in range(1000000):      inputs = str(input('Enter a position: '))      if i%2 == 0:          if inputs == '1':              a = 0              gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)              checkwin()          if inputs == '2':              b = 0              gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)              checkwin()          if inputs == '3':              c = 0              gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)              checkwin()          if inputs == '4':              d = 0              gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)              checkwin()          if inputs == '5':              e = 0              gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)              checkwin()          if inputs == '6':              f = 0              gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)              checkwin()          if inputs == '7':              g = 0              gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)              checkwin()          if inputs == '8':              h = 0              gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)              checkwin()          if inputs == '9':              i = 0              gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)              checkwin()  else:      if inputs == '1':          a = 'X'          gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)          checkwin()      if inputs == '2':          b = 'X'          gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)          checkwin()      if inputs == '3':          c = 'X'          gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)          checkwin()      if inputs == '4':          d = 'X'          gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)          checkwin()      if inputs == '5':          e = 'X'          gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)          checkwin()      if inputs == '6':          f = 'X'          gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)          checkwin()      if inputs == '7':          g = 'X'          gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)          checkwin()      if inputs == '8':          h = 'X'          gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)          checkwin()      if inputs == '9':          i = 'X'          gamestateboard(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)          checkwin()
