This is part of the language specification. Also, the identity of an object must remain the same for its entire lifetime. > (Hint: it's the object's memory address.) This is an implementation detail of CPython. It cannot be true if the garbage collector moves objects around. Or if the object lives elsewhere (and is accessed thru a proxy). Terry J.
