It certainly doesn't. There is absolutely no imaginable way how this behavior could be different, even if the python versions would differ considerably. Apart from quantum-fluctuations. Or other SciFi voodoo. > Why this is, I don't know any more /or/ less than you do apparently. Frederik (as one of the most profiled python developers out there) might not be the most amicable of posters, but he certainly is not wrong when it comes to the most basic parts of python's semantics. > Now, it is of course possible that I'm interpreting the results > incorrectly, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm getting > different results per computer with identical code. It is NOT identical code, otherwise you won't see different results. It might be code from which you _believe_ it is identical, and the difference might be subtle to see. But if you'd store it in a file, execute on your laptop, use an usb-stick and then transfer it to whatever the other machine of yours is, it will yield the exact same results.
