Probably the closest thing you are going to get in Python would be the following: >>> class C: ... pass ... >>> def f(a): ... return a ... >>> b = C() >>> b.value = 0 >>> b.value 0 >>> f(b).value = 1 >>> b.value 1 But as others have pointed out, Python is not C/C++, and shouldn't be treated as such. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
