It depends what you mean by “the same value”. > Nope. Mutable objects are never guaranteed to retain the same values. > That's kinda the point. Well, they are the *same value*, if by “value” you mean “a particular object”. On the other hand, the value can *change* over time, while remaining the same object. So it will not be equal to its initial state, even though it is the same object. -- \ “[F]reedom of speech does not entail freedom to have your ideas | `\ accepted by governments and incorporated into law and policy.” | _o__) —Russell Blackford, 2010-03-06 | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
