Cut'n'Paste is better than typing.  ;)

>>> class now: pass
...
>>> n = now()
>>> s = 'n'
>>> print s
n
>>> s2 = n
>>> print s2
<__main__.now instance at 0x805fd54>

<__main__.now instance at 0x805fd54>

Just what it says...
s2 and n are instances of "now", which is in the top level namespace
(i.e., __main__), and you even get the id (which just happens to be
the address in memory the object is located).
