That's surprising, because even after changing 5 to 4 both objects still have different id()s (tested on Py2.7), so 5 is 4 /should/ still be False (But isn't on my 2.7). But that's some implementation detail we are not supposed to play with ;) > But this I don't understand: > >>>> 5+0 > 4 >>>> 5+1 > 4 >>>> 5+2 > 6 That's easy: 5+0 is actually 4+0, because 5 == 4, so 5+0 gives 4. 5+1 is actually 4+1, which is 5, but 5 is again 4. 5+2 is 4+2 which is 6.
