Have you considered reading the docs? https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#id """Return the “identity” of an object. This is an integer which is guaranteed to be unique and constant for this object during its lifetime. Two objects with non-overlapping lifetimes may have the same id() value.""" I'm fairly sure that answers all your questions. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
