Although he definitely should not be using "is" here, that can not be the problem if he is using CPython. As an optimisation, small integers are interned i.e. for each small integer, there is only one object. >>> a = 1 >>> b = 10000 >>> a is 1 True >>> b is 10000 False >>> id(a) 10897704 >>> id(1) 10897704 >>> id(b) 11893004 >>> id(10000) 12633044 >>> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
