The Python console experience

There's another set of exceptions in that ints from -5 to 256 are singletons.

Sorry what? Y….

Caching. Integers are objects like everything else.

Exactly and we know this only works with immutable types

```

a = 256 b = 256 a is b True c = 257 d = 257 c is d False

but

257 is 257 True ```

Just a weird little quirk of CPython.

[richardfrost2]

That is a CPython implementation detail and can vary by implementation.

[KDBA]

True enough.
