This is the sort of thing that makes me avoid "is" in favor of "==" for most applications. Understanding when two objects point to the same memory requires a deeper understanding of the underlying code than I usually want to delve into. Anyway, I find it interesting that for 3.7.3: >>> a, b = 256, 256 >>> a is b True >>> a, b = 257, 257 >>> a is b False So 2**8 is a magic number, for whatever reason. I'll be sticking with "=="... ---------- nosy: +Shane Smith -eric.smith type: behavior -> _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36592> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
