All your years share the *same* monthTotals object.
This is similar to this FAQ entry:
<http://effbot.org/pyfaq/how-do-i-create-a-multidimensional-list.htm>
You have to create a new dict for each year; replace the above code with:
yearTotals = {}
for year in years:
yearTotals[year] = dict.fromkeys(months, 0)
