title: Multiple references to the same variable in Python
body: <p>I am trying to have different ways to access the same variable. I have a bunch of objects that I store in a dict so I can iterate over them. But on occcasion I would like to access them directly (without going through the structure in the dict...)</p>
  <pre><code>object1 = someObjectContructor()
  someDict = {}
  
  someDict[1] = object1
  </code></pre>
  <p>Can I have the two point to the same object in memory? So that if I change something in object1 that change would be there in the the dictionary?</p>
