Memory Address' of Python Objects

Hi all,

I've been searching through the Python Essential Reference, and
python.org but I can't seem to find a way to get the memory address
for an object in python. Please help. How do you get the address of an
object in memory?

Sincerely,

Pete

1024-bit RSA keys in 2 minutes flat. Makes you feel so small...

id(obj)

What do you intend to do with this information? If you want to use this
to manipulate the object from outside Python, it's almost certainly the
wrong way of doing it.
