I think you are quite mistaken in this assumption. Sure, object references are difficult to grasp at first, but they are a highly useful concept, and follow very simple, systematic principles - you just need to "get" it once. > result of a modification to an object that is immutable Objects that are immutable *cannot* be modified - that this the very definition of "immutable". It seems that your understanding of Python still doesn't match its semantics. However, Python really can't adjust to whatever your current understanding is: most people (dealing with it) already have the right understanding. So closing this as "won't fix". ---------- nosy: +loewis resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9702> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
