Pretty much. In the sense that you're thinking of, every assignment
works that way, even the initial "TEST1 = One()". Assignment binds names
to objects, though you have to be aware that names can be such exotic
things as "t", "a[15]" or "TEST2.__instance_one.one"
I probably expected classes namespaces to behave in about the same way
as lists and dictionaries do, don't know where I picked that up.
They do, in fact, which isn't terribly surprising considering that class
namespaces are implemented with dictionaries. The distinction you're
missing is that lists and dictionaries are mutable, while booleans
aren't; you can change the contents of a dictionary, but you can't
change the 'contents' of a boolean.
All makes sense now, thanks Rhodri & Christian.
