But even in Python we don't speak of "id of a variable". It is not the variable that has an id. It is the object that is currently attached to the variable that has an id. Yes we can use "id of a variable" as a shortcut for the correct formulation as long as you keep in mind that it is not the variable itself that has an id. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
