[Tutor] Passing objects

[Alex Newby]

Continuing on my quest to understand how to pass around objects with
ming(anything?)...

>>> def foo(shape):
	shape = SWFShape()
	return shape
>>> r = ""
>>> foo(r)
<ming.SWFShape instance at 0x00B9CB20>
>>> r
''
>>>

I am somewhat mystified by the above behaviour. A class instance is
instantiated, but r remains a string. How can I pass an instance of an
object to a function, that will permit the objects methods applied in
the function?

I was exploring the utility of the following.

def bar(Object):
	Object.MainClassFunction(args)
	return anObject
	
instance = MainClass()
bar(instance)  

This clearly fails. Suggestions, comments, wit and sarcasm are
appreciated...
