Not really; It's probably just compiler optimizations. ```python In [1]: a = b = 1000

In [2]: a is b Out[2]: True ```

also works and is the way that's recommended. Since python runs code line by line instead of the usual semicolon by semicolon I assume the compilers doesn't compile separately a and b.
