Well, you can always do something like this:

>>> a = box(42)
>>> func = lambda x: a.value + x
>>> func(1)
43
>>> a.value = 6 * 9
>>> func(1)
55

I realize that's not exactly the same thing since you're stuck working
with "a.value" instead of just "a", but it does produce the desired
result.

Cheers,
Ian
