In fact, if you adjust my annotations to the given example from the "everything is a reference" point of view, you'll see that the explanations become a whole deal longer and probably more confusing. Also, the picture becomes much messier with more strings attached. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
