Is it possible to convert an object into a string that identifies the object in a way, so it can later be looked up by this string. Technically this should be possible, because things like
<__main__.Foo instance at 0xb7cfb6ac> say everything about an object. But how can I look up the real object, when I only have this string? I know such a thing can be achieved with a dictionary that holds reference-object pairs. Is there another way? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
