Correct. >FWIW, I'm told the ID value used is a simple integer, that indexes a >list containing the actual addresses. Also correct for the majority of cases. You would have to be an expert in GC to care about when this is not correct, which is what I happen to be, but only a pedant would object to what you said. >So in this case, the binding value is an integer, not an address. Utterly wrong. The binding value has to be an address. All addresses are integers. I have no clue what you meant by this. Please resubmit and try again. That some of the adresses are indirectly referred to through a list means _nothing_. Very puzzled, your brain is thinking wrong thoughts, but mostly I can guess what is meant, here I cannot at all, Sorry about that, Laura _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
