no, it's the object identity, and all it tells you is that both names point to the same object. > can one dereference a value based on address alone in python? no. > is id similar to the address of a variable or a class ? in the CPython implementation, it's the address where the object is stored. but that's an implementation detail. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
