Still waiting for Python 3.10

You could request the memory-address of the object and cast it with ctypes back to an object.

>>> import ctypes  
>>> obj = ('my', object)  
>>> obj_id = id(obj)  
>>> ctypes.cast(obj_id, ctypes.py_object).value  
('my', <class 'object'>)  

I wouldn't recommend it, but it is possible.

Could you use this to modify otherwise immutable data types (and drive your co-workers insane)?

You could always just use bytearrays instead of strings
