Sure it does! The rich comparison methods can very well be used to define
whatever semantics you want. Now I agree that
def __eq__(self, other):
if self is other:
return False
... # do something more sane
doesn't make much sense usually. Or maybe even never. Still, it illustrates
the point: object identity is not to be confused with two objects being
part of an equality relation.
