I see, thank you Steven.

But since this is a fact how do you create complicated data structures that rely on various variables pointing one to another liek we did in C++(cannot recall their names) ?

You almost never need to do that in Python. But if you really want to, out of curiosity, you can. For example, you could create a simple singly linked list like this:

>>> class Node(object):
        def __init__(self, value):
                self.value = value
                self.next = None

                
>>> first = Node(1)
>>> second = Node(2)
>>> first.next = second

You could iterate over it like this:

>>> def iterate_linked_list(node):
        while node:
                yield node.value
                node = node.next

                
>>> for v in iterate_linked_list(first):
        print v
