[Tutor] references to containing objects

[John Gunderman]

I am looking for a way to tell a object the properties of its containing object.
For example, I have an object foo, of class Bar, which I have stored in a dict
in the object I want to access. Basically:

container_object.contained_object["foo"].action()

What I want is for the object "foo" to be able to access properties of container_object
through its action() method. the problem is that I don't know what the containing
object's name is going to be before hand, so I can't just access it through the
object's name. I'm thinking I could create a dict of the container_objects, so
when the object was created the name could be passed to the action() method, but
is there another way to do it?

Thanks in advance. 

John
