Is this guaranteed by the Python specification, or is it an artifact of the current implementation? My understanding has been that an implementation is free to share integer objects or not, so using 'is' as an equality test takes you into undefined territory, regardless of the size of the value. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
