How do I get a pointer in pure Python code (no ctypes)? I tried both 
Pascal and C syntax (^x and *x), but both give syntax errors.

For that matter, how do I get a pointer in Java code?

If Python doesn't have pointers, then why are you talking about Python 
passing pointers? It's a vacuous truth, like saying that Python passes 
dinosaurs by name.
