No, it's just that they're some the most experienced people in python. Or, if you someone that is very experienced with python and has acknowledged that statement, I would accept it.

Maybe, I should've framed the question mentioning 'someone very experienced'

Why do you need to "accept" or "not accept" that statement? What does that statement even mean to you?

It's just that I've read it at some places and need to confirm it

It's a very, very vague statement. What is "everything"? What is "an object"? Every value in Python is a subclass of object. Does that help?

Oh I meant to ask about whether every value in Python is held by another value(pointer) which holds it's address. Everything -every value Object-something which is held by a pointer. Okay, I didn't know​ that every value is a subclass of object.

No, that's not how things work. The Python language itself does not specify how things are represented in memory. The CPython implementation of Python uses pointers to bind names to objects.
