[Tutor] Does Python have pointers?

[Kent Johnson]

I don't think you need pointers for this project. The BF page talks about 
memory pointers, but they are for the BF virtual machine - the model seen 
by the BF programmer. You can implement this model any way you want. I 
would start with two lists - one for the program and one for the data 
space. Then the pointers are actual just indices into the data list.
