The 1st "False" is not surprising for me.
It's the 2nd "True" is a bit hmmm... ok, it doesn't matter
======================
Have a nice day!

I am no expert, but I think python re-uses some integer and string objects. For instance, if you create the object int(2) it may be re-used later if you have several 2 objects in your code. This is to save some memory, or some other performance hack. Don't rely on it.

For instance:
>>> a = 100
>>> b = 100
>>> a is b
True
>>> a = 2**60
>>> b = 2**60
>>> a is b
False

Strange, but it's just like this!
