Definition of equivalent 1: equal in force, amount, or value Are you referring to memory space as what is actually stored in RAM? If so, that seems to be outside the scope here. I don't think anyone expected an interpreted language to have the same memory space as a compiled binary from C for example. Concretely anything to do with Serialization, API (ctypes), network communication (non-serialization), etc will fail. Regardless of the reasons above, 1 is never the intended default value of anything default initialized in any language I've ever come across. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44993> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
