pyCallBy 1.2.1

pyCallBy
Auxilary classes to implement call by reference.
Python does not allow a user to distinguish between call-by-value and call-by-reference
parameter passing. Python's standard types are passed by-value to a function or
method. Instances of a class are passed by-reference (pointer) to a function or
method.
By implementing a wrapper-class CallByRefParam, any types value can be
passed by-reference. In addition, standard types like int or bool
can be handled by derived wrapper-classes.
Example
# define a call-by-reference parameter for integer values
myInt = CallByRefIntParam()

# a function using a call-by-reference parameter
def func(param : CallByRefIntParam):
param <<= 3

# call the function and pass the wrapper object
func(myInt)

print(myInt.value)
