If you store an item in a one-element list, you can use the list like a reference, but it's not syntactically transparent. >>> x = [1] >>> y = x Now x and y refer to the same list. Now you can change the elements in the list through y. >>> y[0] += 1 >>> x [2] >>> y [2] -- Neil Cerutti Sermon Outline: I. Delineate your fear II. Disown your fear III.
