You are misinterpreting the excerpt. You are right that the id of an object doesn't change during the lifetime of a Python process and as long as it stays inside a single process. However if you use some sort of persistence layer like pickles or an IPC mechanism like multiprocessing the id is definitely not constant. If you need something stable, I suggest you look at the uuid module. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
