Difference between 'is' and '=='

Hey guys, this maybe a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the result anywhere online. When is the right time to use 'is' and when should we use '=='? Thanks alot~ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Difference between 'is' and '=='

It's really strange, if a = 1 b = 1 a is b ==> True the same thing applies for strings, but not for dict, lists or tuples I think the 'is' operator is useful for objects only, not for primitive types, I think I solved the mystery behind my bugged code =) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listi
