Didn't you ask the original question? Why do you have to guess about the
semantics of your own question?

Yes. However, in the example that you describe there is still a
reference inside the list.

The fact that it is not referenced by name is irrelevant. Python will
keep the object alive as long as it can be accessed in any manner (1).

(1) For the mega Python weennies: the exception is weak references,
which  
    will not keep an object alive.
