python3 指针,是python变量指针吗？否则他们是什么？

Variables in Python are just pointers, as far as I know.

Based on this rule, I can assume that the result for this code snippet:

i = 5

j = i

j = 3

print(i)

would be 3.

But I got an unexpected result for me, it was 5.

Moreover, my Python book does cover this example:

i = [1,2,3]

j = i

i[0] = 5

print(j)

the result would be [5,2,3].

What am I understanding wrong?

We call them references. They work like this

i = 5 # create int(5) instance, bind it to i

j = i # bind j to the same int as i

j = 3 # create int(3) instance, bind it to j

print i # i still bound to the int(5), j bound to the int(3)

Small ints are interned, but that isn't important to this explanation

i = [1,2,3] # create the list instance, and bind it to i

j = i # bind j to the same list as i

i[0] = 5 # change the first item of i

print j # j is still bound to the same list as i
