Hello all ,
I am trying some interactive examples here where i have come across
inconsistencies??? :O
Anyway heres whats bothering me
>>> s = 'hello'
>>> s[0]
'h'
>>> s[:]
'hello'
>>> m = s[:]
>>> m
'hello'
>>> m is s
True
I discussed the *is* operator with some of the pythoners before as
well

obsession with implementation artifacts is a premature optimization,
and should be avoided.
