Furthermore, in Python, values can *change their address*. Jython and IronPython both are built on top of a garbage collector which can move memory around, meaning that objects can end up in a completely different location. This makes no difference to Python code, and there is no supported way of getting to the address of an object. (In fact, objects may be split over multiple locations, even in CPython, e.g. the new optimized implementation for dicts has shared storage for keys.) -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
