My favourite analogy for Python names, the sticky note, here

Is player3[3] also a sticky note? Wouldn't the note have to have the id
of player3 written on it somehow? Should the player3 sticky note have
the id of the global namespace that "player3" is valid in written on it?
I like my analogy better because it means both player3 and (the list we
call player3)[3] are both the *same* kind of thing: boxes that have
pointers in them (i.e. variables).
For the final time I hope, "pointer" is not appropriate for Python, so
I'll stick with the sticky note analogy, thanks all the same.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
