I am not really clear on what you're asking, so I have guessed and made

In the context of your original question, I think this one reveals that
you are missing some fundamental knowledge of how Python treats objects
and references.
Every object has a type. Types are themselves objects; the most basic
type, in Python, is named ‘object’.
Yes, already this makes it somewhat difficult to discuss these concepts
:-)
You will probably benefit greatly by reading and watching this
presentation by Ned Batchelder, that walks you through some common
minuderstandings, and replaces them with correct concepts for how Python
treats objects and references.
