Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: I don't think it's in the business of the C API docs to explain Python-visible semantics, or the difference between "==" and "is". I would just rephrase the original paragraph, removing the last sentence joke:
“Since integer objects are very frequently created, certain optimizations can be applied on their allocation. For example, the current implementation keeps an array of integer objects for all integers between -5 and 256: when you create an int in that range, you actually just get back a reference to the existing object.” ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11846> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
