Pointers in other languages

So I've been using C for almost a year now but decided to give Python a chance. Python and many high level languages don't have pointers like C. Without pointers how do you implement dynamic data structures like lists and trees? (I know that Python has these built in but what if I want to use a more specific structure not built in)

Python doesn't have lists. What they call lists are in fact dynamic arrays.

I like the part where you made shit up.

Look at the source. They are double linked lists.
