As I said in my previous e-mail, I think that e.g. copy.py relies on such behavior, and more generally any Python code that has to use id() to emulate an identity-dict --- as broken as that approach is, just because CPython thought that identity-dicts were unnecessary. It may not actually be a problem right now in copy.py, but still, I fear that it's a problem waiting to hurt us.
