Get object by id

Question

If I have an id of a Python object, which I retrieved by doing id(thing) then how do I find thing again by the id number I was given?

Answer 1

You'll probably want to consider implementing it another way such as the weakref module?

 The Python weakref module lets you keep references, dictionary references, and proxies to objects without having those references count in the reference counter. They're like symbolic links.
