It seems like id(list[<some value>]) == id(<some value>).
It might seem that way, but test with other than single-character
strings, eg lists like [7],[8],[9] and try again.
I still get the same thing...
Well, yes -- because you're still testing the same things. I meant of
course to test other things, like lists as in:
>>> for ii in [[7],[7],[8],[8],[9],[9]]: id(ii)
...

16608952
16609032
16608992
16608832
16608872

What you're testing is the content of the list elements, more like:
>>> for ii in [[7],[7],[8],[8],[9],[9]]: id(ii[0])
...
15424016
15424016
15424004
15424004
15423992
15423992
>>>
And as you've heard, interning is at the root of the apparent sameness..
