I just want an alias. Ideally, I don't want to deal with pointers or special reference "types" etc. After all, this is not C++ :)
I just want to be able to make a reference to any old thing in Python. A list, an integer variable, a function etc. so that I, in complicated cases, can make a shorthand. If "myRef" could somehow "point at" something long an complicated like a[42]["pos"][-4], that might be useful. /David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
