Inner workings of this Python feature: Can a Python data structure reference itself?

[vasudevram]

Hi group,

Please refer to this blog post about code showing that a Python data structure can be self-referential:

Gotten a couple of comments on it already, but interested in hearing thoughts of Python core dev team members or others who can comment on the internals of how this feature operates, why, etc.

Thanks
