So at the point I create the variable it refers to an object. More correctly when I create the variable and assign a list action to the variable I believe I should be creating a reference to a list object in one motion; however python would like me to create the object first before creating a reference to it, is that the catch? I am not allowed to create references to an object at the same time I create the object is that correct? Sayth -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
