To begin, I'm new with python. I've read a few discussions about object references and I think I understand them.
To be clear, Python uses a "Pass By Object Reference" model. x = 1 x becomes the object reference, while an object is created with the type 'int', value 1, and identifier (id(x)). Doing this with a class, x = myclass(), does the same thing, but with more or less object attributes. Every object has a type and an identifier (id()), according to the Python Language Reference for 2.6.2 section 3.1. x in both cases is the object reference. I would like to use the object to refer to the object reference. If I have a gross misunderstanding, please correct me. The following is what I would like to do: I have a list of class instances dk = [ a, b, c, d ], where a, b, c, d is an object reference. Entering dk gives me the object: [MyClass0 instance at 0x0000, MyClass1 instance at 0x0008, MyClass2 instance at 0x0010 ... ] I need the object reference name (a,b,c,d) from dk to use as input for a file. Where do I find the memory location of the object reference and the object reference name memory location? I am unconcerned with the fact that the memory location will change the next time I run a python session. I will be using the object reference name for processing right away. My main focus of this post is: "How do I find and use object reference memory locations?" Thoughts? Thanks, Josef -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
