You can't. Python is NOT C/C++/Java or whatever. If you have a variable, x, and you want to "copy" it to another variable, y. Use assignment. Most (if not all) objects in python a referenced. A lot of types are also immutable. Describe your problem, perhaps we may be able to provide you a "better" solution ? Can I statically re-cast an object into a different type by getting the address of another object .... is not a very good problem. If you're after, coercing one type into another, for example: >>> x = 2 >>> y = "2" >>> z = int(y) >>> x 2 >>> y '2' >>> z 2 >>> cheers James -- -- -- "Problems are solved by method" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
