I don't understand the point of your last expression. Were you intending this instead: >>> c is a True However, the following commands add to my confusion: >> a = 'wtf?' >> b = 'wtf?' >> a is b False So how are string literals cached? Is there an explanation somewhere? Is it some freaky voodoo, and I should just assume that a string literal will always generate a new object?
