Sure, if you stop spreading misinformation about variables in Python and cease the insanity of claiming that the value of a variable is not the value you assign to it, but some invisible, unreachable "reference". x = 999 The value of x is 999, not some invisible reference. x = [] The value of x is an empty list, not some invisible reference. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
