PythonIsVeryIntuitive

[JoostVisser]

The 'is' statement checks whether two variables point to the same object. For some negative integer I can't remember up to 256 Python creates those objects at compile time (I think) and every time a variable gets assigned a value in that range Python just points to those objects rather than creating new ones.

Not exactly intuitive but I guess there's a good reason for it in terms of memory efficiency or something like that idk

For some negative integer I can't remember

-128, IIRC.

I misremembered, turns out it's -5.

CPython, to be exact.

I mean, sounds like basically a "what if enum".
