title: Can I get a Python object from its memory address?
body: <p>I'm learning how to use Qt with PyQt, and I have a QTabelView with a StandardItemModel I've populated the model successfully and hooked up the itemChanged signal to a slot. I'd l'd like to mess around with whatever object is returned in IPython, so currently I have the line: </p>
  
  <pre><code>def itemChangedSlot(epw, item):
      new_data = item.data()
      print new_data
      print item
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which prints</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;PyQt4.QtGui.QStandardItem object at 0x07C5F930&gt;
  &lt;PyQt4.QtCore.QVariant object at 0x07D331F0&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the IPython session is it possible to get the object using this memory address? I'm not seeing anything on Google, maybe I don't have my terminology right? </p>
