Small integers are cached in CPython, making it an implementation- dependent feature. I don't believe that caching is promised by the language definition, and while CPython has a special relationship to Python-the-language, I don't think an implementation that failed to cache small integers would be described as "not Python". -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
