The connection is that argument passing is, in Python and in many
other languages, a form of assignment, and follows all the same rules
as assignment follows. (It's a kind of magic assignment that spans two
namespaces, but that has nothing to do with pass-by-X questions.)
These two will exhibit the same behaviour:
# Option 1
x = some_object()
y = x
... do something with y ...
... compare y and x
# Option 2
def do_stuff(y):
... do something with y ...
x = some_object()
do_stuff(x)
... compare y and x
Python's object semantics go far deeper than just argument passing,
but everyone's confusions about pass-by-X are always about function
calls.
Whether this makes a real difference to anything is a separate question.
