Before anybody asks why I don't use "id", I'm concerned that that is implementation-specific and don't really care to rely on it. Plus I make some limited use of the fact they can be a little more comprehensible than memory addresses during debugging; "Link Object #4 pointing at Target #5" is a hell of a lot easier on the eyes and memory than "Link Object #-1208632020 pointing at Target #-1208631892" (I just pulled those numbers as the id() of m1 and m2 from the previous post.) Along with a couple of other things I use because I control the ids. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
