Hi Tutors,

I'm confused by the following possible contradiction. Would someone please
explain or point me to the right docs.

[snip confusion about parameter passing and Python's object model]

By FACT 1  x should be a reference parameter...?
By Fact 2 x would seem to be a copy...?

Function arguments in Python are *neither* passed by reference nor passed by 
value (copied).

Here's a post I made some years ago going into long detail about it. I hope 
this is helpful for you.
