Only to the extent that many mistake passing Java or C# reference types for "call-by-reference". "Call by reference" is the calling convention used by Fortran, Pascal and Visual Basic 6. If you don't know any of these languages, chances are you don't understand what "call by reference" really means. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
