You are correct, terminology is a must. In order to stay on the same page. And yes, it;s not technically by ref. but it works for me at the moment.
I was doing this in my code: l={"user":"asdf","pass":"goog"} d= { "login_url":"http://example.com/login", "user":l["user"], "pass":l["pass"] } and it wouldn't work. So I had to do some research on how to make it work. passing a mutable object resolved my problem. Thank you for correcting me. -A ps.I have this habit of pressing reply instead of reply to all. Working on fixing that.
