Steven D'Aprano added the comment: This is not a bug. Whether Python allocates one, or two, float objects for a particular floating point value is dependent on the implementation and not a language guarantee. The language does not promise that two floats with the value 7.3 will be the same object, only that they are equal.
In Python 3.5 on Linux, I can see: py> 7.3 is 7.3 True py> x = 7.3 py> y = 7.3 py> x is y False *but your results may be different*. There is no language promise here, except that `x is x` must be true. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30932> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
