Wrong. All references are *to* objects, maybe. There are no objects that "are" references -- objects may *contain* references. You're losing sight of the fact that objects and references are really two completely different things in Python. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "19.
