+A Word About Names and Objects
+==============================
 
 Objects have individuality, and multiple names (in multiple scopes) can be bound
 to the same object.  This is known as aliasing in other languages.  This is
 usually not appreciated on a first glance at Python, and can be safely ignored
 when dealing with immutable basic types (numbers, strings, tuples).  However,

-mutable objects such as lists, dictionaries, and most types representing

-For example, passing an object is cheap since only a pointer is passed by the
-implementation; and if a function modifies an object passed as an argument, the
-caller will see the change --- this eliminates the need for two different
