It calls the `__hash__()` method on the object that was given as argument.
So there's not *the* hash function, but every type implements its own.
Fallback is the hash of the identity of an object:
In [415]: class A(object): pass
.....:
In [416]: a = A()
In [417]: hash(a)
Out[417]: 161029068
In [418]: hash(id(a))
Out[418]: 161029068
