   Does Python have Pointers? Sadly, Python doesn’t have pointers like other languages for explicit use but is implemented under the hood. Types such as list, dictionary, class, and objects, etc in Python behave like pointers under the hood.

   When someone asks, does Python have pointers, perhaps the best answer is: it doesn’t have explicit pointers like some other languages, but everything is implicitly a pointer. So you have the power of pointers to use when you need them: you can have multiple data structures, then assign a variable to one you choose, and use the variable later.

   Is there a pointer class in Python?

   • Here’s the full source for the Metrics class: Okay, so maybe there are pointers in Python, specifically CPython. Using the builtin ctypes module, you can create real C-style pointers in Python. If you are unfamiliar with ctypes, then you can take a look at Extending Python With C Libraries and the “ctypes” Module.

   What are pointers in Python?

   • Pointers are widely used in C and C++. Essentially, they are variables that hold the memory address of another variable. For a refresher on pointers, you might consider checking out this overview on C Pointers. In this article, you’ll gain a better understanding of Python’s object model and learn why pointers in Python don’t really exist.

   What is the difference between a function and a pointer in Python?

   • What you wrote works exactly as written. Functions are first-class objects in Python. Python has nothing called pointers, but your code works as written. Function are first-class objects, assigned to names, and used as any other value. You can use this to implement a Strategy pattern, for example:

   Do Python names work like pointers?

   • TLDR: Python names work like pointers with automatic de/referencing but do not allow explicit pointer operations. Other targets represent indirections, which behave similar to pointers. The Python language spec does not define what names and such actually are, only how they behave. However, the behaviour can be explained with pointers.

   • We can create real pointers in Python using the built in ctype modules. To start, store your functions that use pointers in a .c file and compile it. Write the below function into your .c file. Assume our file name is pointers.c. Run the below commands. In the first command, pointers.c is compiled to an object pointers.o.

   Can CPython use a pointer?

   • However, the behaviour can be explained with pointers. The CPython implementation uses pointers of type PyObject* under the hood. As such, it is possible to translate name semantics to pointer operations. The key is to separate names from actual objects. The example Python code includes both names (i) and objects (5).

   Feb 28, 2022 · In Python a pointer just represents the connection between a variable and an objects. Imagine variables living in variable land and objects living in object land. A pointer is a little arrow that connects each variable to the object it points to. This above diagram represents the state of our Python process after running this code:
