Please, PLEASE, go and read/watch Ned's PyCon talk (the one I linked
you to earlier). Don't post another word on this subject until you
comprehend what he is saying.
But what is it about my remarks above that isn't right?
To summarize, it once again shows that you haven't got the faintest idea
what you're talking about.
But you're not going to tell me what it is I got wrong!
I said that Python's "=" does a very shallow copy. And I stated that in
A=B, something of B must be copied into A.
I (and probably others) would like to know why none of that is correct.
But I suspect I'm not wrong.
