[Tutor] pointers in python

[Lloyd Kvam]

Python variables are pointers to the memory locations that hold the Python objects.

HOWEVER, there is no pointer arithmatic and you don't actually deal with those addresses.
The id function returns a value that is based upon the memory address.  This lets you
see if two objects with the same content are actually the same object.
