If you create the tuples independently, they can be equal but not
identical. Example:
>>> def cons(x, y): return x, y
...
>>> spam = cons("foo", "bar")
>>> spon = cons("foo", "bar")
>>> spam == spon
True
>>> spam is spon
False
For the most part, you won't care about identity, only equality.
Everything you said was correct for equality.
