Heya. Go read through the thread from yesterday, title starts with "Understanding Python Functions" -- they go through the whole pass by object, mutable vs immutable stuff pretty well in there. Short possibly bad version: Assigning (inclding to a function var) makes a new name for an object, reassigning (x=...) only changes what the indvidual name (x) means, but changing the object itself (x[n]=..., x.n=..., etc) affects anything that has a name for that object. Names are names, not variables. -- Weaver[0]=Star -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
