Re: Question about Pass-by-object-reference?

[Terry Reedy]

When you call a function, Python binds function parameter names to 
argument objects in the function's local namespace, the same as in name 
assignments. Given

def f(a, b): pass
a call f(1, 'x') starts by executing

a, b = 1, 'x'

in the local namespace.  Nothing is being 'passed'.
