Tuple	N/A
Dict	Work area
Set	Hashed table
Frozenset	N/A
N/A (*1)	Field Symbol
N/A (*1)	Reference
N/A	Interface
abc.ABC	Abstract Class

(*1) Any Python variable / function name can be used / passed as a reference. Therefore, although Python doesn’t officially have a pointer concept, you can achieve pointer functionality with any variable.
