Neat trick, if probably dangerous in some circumstances. Anyway, thanks,
I didn't think of that.
Don't know if this is any use to you..
At least I learned something. :-)
You want consistent access to a changing variable. Wrap it in an
object:
a= Blank( )
a.ref= 'X'
a.ref
'X'
b= a
b.ref
'X'
a.ref= 'Y'
b.ref
'Y'
My "old fashioned" programing paradigms think of this in terms of
"pointers", a throw back to my schooling in 'C'. I find this general
form of problem to be common across languages and in some ways hard to
express in python. The whole idea of labels bound to objects is quite
alien to traditional terminology. I find one of the main attractions of
python is this new mindset that the language makes you adopt - a
different set of tools are at hand for the old school programmer.
castironpi - please give an example of what you are thinking as I find
this interesting. preferably post some brief example code.
