I'd not touch these internals: $ python Python 2.4 [...] >>> id(2) == id(1+1) True >>> id(200) == id(100+100) False >>> hash(2) == hash(1+1) True >>> hash(200) == hash(100+100) True >>> >>> id(-5)==id(-2-3) True >>> id(-6)==id(-3-3) False Parrot could also cache small integers like Python does but it's by far too early to dig into that. If we want some interoperbility with Python dicts, hashing will not be done on ids but on the hash function of the type. > Thanks, > /Autrijus/ leo
