Yes, basically you *created* a pointer. That's all that python has: pointers. When saying >>> a = AnyOldObject() >>> b = a then 'a' and 'b' are different /names/ for the /very same/ object (try "a is b", or "id(a)==id(b)"). This is really a FAQ (once a week or so?), but for the life of me I can't find the right words for a google query. TO THE TROOP: What keywords would you attach to that question? /W -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
