See, those diagrams are perfect (well, almost, I think the names should have square boxes too). They're arrows. They *point* at things. *Pointers*. The boxes are variables. The circles represent special boxes (implemented in C or Java or whatever) that hold things other than pointers and therefore can't be used as Python variables. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
