I've searched all the Python docs I could find, but I haven't seen any
mention of referencing function arguments, such as you would with the
& in c/c++. Is this possible in Python? 5 1487

The analog of the Python way of handling args among the C-style languages is
Java. So, no, you are on mission impossible :-)
class Mutable:
pass
v1 = Mutable()
v1.name = "v1"
v2 = "v2" #strings are immutable
def fun(a1, a2):
a1.name = "a1"
a2 = "a2"
fun(v1, v2)
print v1.name # prints a1
print v2 # prints v2
As a workaround, you can do:
def fun2():
a1 = Mutable()
a1.name = "A1"
return a1, "A2"
v1, v2 = fun2()
print v1.name # prints A1
print v2 # prints A2
See the tutorial ( http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node6.html) for the
tricks you *can* do with function arguments

Your question is probably not as sophisticated: Parameter passing in Python
is *always* like & in C++.
There had been an exaustive disyussion some weeks ago: here is my

The following examples might clear the more theoretical elaborations .....
def noUse(a): a=(4,5,6)
def tricky(a): a[0]=(7,8,9)
# case 1 x=[1,2,3] print x tricky(x)
x=(1,2,3) # case 2 noUse(x) print x
# case 3 tricky([x]) print x
# case 4 y=[x] tricky (y) print x print y[0]

Python is pass-by-reference by default. f = [] def foo(n):
.... n.append("hi")
.... foo(f) print f
['hi']
