You are looking at the id of two _instances_ of the class, not of the class itself. >>> class Example(object): ... pass ... >>> e1, e2 = Example(), Example() >>> type(e1), type(e2) (<class '__main__.Example'>, <class '__main__.Example'>) >>> id(type(e1)), id(type(e2)) (20882000, 20882000) >>> id(e1), id(e2) (25931760, 25968816) > Also, which module is t,t1 actually in? Is it "a.b.f"? Or is it > "a.b.t.d". Which module did you declare them in? What makes you think they're defined somewhere other than what .__module__ is telling you? My guess is your class is in a.b.f, your instances are created in a.b.t.d, and you've demonstrated very powerfully the value of meaningful names in code. > I am totally confused.
