What is the salient difference between those two? I don't see the point of the distinction. Why have you chosen an analogy – CPU registers – that still uses the misleading “copies in containers” model, rather than the “sticky-notes on objects” model? The latter more accurately describes Python's references. > They cannot hold typed or structured objects This is quite false. Every object in Python is typed and structured, and to the extent that Python has “variables”, they always refer to a typed and structured object. -- \ “Do unto others twenty-five percent better than you expect them | `\ to do unto you.
