Well, you aren't actually using the object's id() value as the dict key,
but the value of its id attribute. Since all the instances you create
have the same value for that attribute each change to the dict (except
the first) overwrites the immediately preceding change - you can't have
100 values in a dict all with the same key!
Try:
>>> mydict = dict((id(r), r) for r in mylist)
and you'll find you then get a dict with 100 elements.
