I find Python to be more more

Which is not a surprise, since both Python and Java use the same value
passing

Java people don't call it that. They call it pass by value, and
categorically
deny that it is pass by reference. (They're right about the second
point.)
I figure that, internally, an address, a pointer, is being passed by
value to implement pass by reference. Why do you say "they are right"
above? Are you saying it's not pass by reference?
