The article is bogged down in unnecessary complications with regard to 
mutability (or not) and pass-by reference|value stuff. The author risks 
confusing her audience (those who are perhaps already confused about the 
nature of variables in Python).

The examples deal mostly with names and scope. The article in my opinion 
confuses a Python concept which is otherwise very straight-forward which 
has been beat to death on this forum.
