Pointers to variables

[Randall Hopper]

This doesn't work:


    for ( var, str ) in [( self.min, 'min_units' ),
                         ( self.max, 'max_units' )]:
      if cnf.has_key( str ):
        var = cnf[ str ]
        del cnf[ str ]


It doesn't assign values to self.min, self.max (both integers).  The values
of these variables are inserted into the tuples and not references to the
variables themselves, which is the problem.

How can I cause a reference to the variables to be stored in the tuples
instead of their values?

Thanks,

Randall
