Names, or other references. I'd argue that Python has assignment, and assignment in Python is identical with binding references to objects. But then, the Python documentation refers to “variables” as though they exist in Python, which I'd argue they don't. It's all very confusing :-) -- \ “Religious faith is the one species of human ignorance that | `\ will not admit of even the *possibility* of correction.” —Sam | _o__) Harris, _The End of Faith_, 2004 | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
