You access them *all the time*. They are the *only* thing you access. But if you want... pointer = lambda x: return x > I'll ask again, where do pointers come into > the Jython and IronPython models?

I am not using "pointer" as language-specific terminology, I am using it as *the* name of the concept we are talking about. The Java and .NET runtimes *don't* use that terminology, but they still *actually* have pointers, in the same way that Python does. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
