More accurately: (1) All function arguments are passed by value, but (2) All "values" are pointers. Statement (2) also explains why >>> a = [1, 2, 4] >>> b = a >>> b[1] = 0 >>> print a [1, 0, 4] behaves the way it does. And there's no difference between mutable and immutable types. It's just that with immutable types, it doesn't matter how they're passed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
