Hi, First, thank you to all the development community for this fabulous language (I'm french so my english is a bit...bad and basic). I'm quite new to programming and python is my first language. As beginner I had problems to deal with all aliasing stuff (in-place changes or not...). So my suggestion is perhaps not to change this (altough I find it a bit opposite to the python sense...) but to have a real aliasing fonction: -----------------------------
a = 2 b = alias("a")
b = lambda: a
a = 'foo' b
b()
'foo' ----------------------------- b is always a, it doesn't point to the same data, it points to the pointer a itself ! The arg is a string because otherwise the interpreter would give the value as arg, not the pointer. It could also be more complexe: -----------------------------
a = 3 b = alias("(a*3)+2")
b = lambda: a*3 + 2
b
b()
11
a = 5 b
b() How's that? ;)
