Only Dict,tuples ,strings and list are reference

Hi,

Is it not possible to reference other than Dict,tuples ,strings and list datatypes /variables ,when we call the functions?

Say int,float and boolean

Thanks

If Python doesn't do it ("Say int, float and boolean"), you can do it with a class as shown in our lengthy discussion on globals.

Sure:

class BoolByRef:  # simulate a C structure
    value = True   # or whatever you want the defualt to be


boolByRef = BoolByRef


def ChangeBoolByRef():
    boolByRef.value = False

def PrintBoolByRef():
    print boolByRef.value



ChangeBoolByRef()
PrintBoolByRef()
