The difference is the FLAG_REF which is set to 128 (0x80). >>> import marshal >>> var_example = [(1,2,3),(4,5,6)] >>> vm = marshal.dumps(var_example) >>> rm = marshal.dumps([(1,2,3),(4,5,6)]) >>> [v ^ r for v, r in zip(vm, rm)] [128, 0, 0, 0, 0, 128, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 128, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] Whether a flag for possible reuse is generated depends on the reference count of a object. When passing in the list as variable, the reference count is higher than passing it as a literal. That flag tells marshal whether to generate an index entry.
