Hi list, Just to make sure I understand this.
Since there is no "pointer" type in Python, I like to know how I do that. For instance, if I do: ...some_huge_list is a huge list... some_huge_list[0]=1 aref = some_huge_list aref[0]=0 print some_huge_list[0] we know that the answere will be 0. In this case, aref is really a reference. But what if the right hand side is a simple variable (say an int)? Can I "reference" it somehow? Should I assume that: aref = _any_type_other_than_simple_one be a reference, and not a copy? Thanks, -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
