In that case, it= Dog( ) refs[ 'it' ]= it it.walk( ) it= Cat( ) it.feed( ) you don't want refs[ 'it' ] to refer to cat. You were talking about the dog when you stored refs[ 'it' ]. The OP might be wanting to mutate locals( ). If not define a Reference object, class Reference: def __init__( self, ref ): self.ref= ref a more descriptive name than Blank (above), to explicitly state that you're using a reference instead of "fixed-bound" namespace semantics, or whatever the right word is. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
