I feel like I should clarify - not everyone who posted got it wrong, and
I understand there's a side discussion among those who are also
interested/participants in
https://discuss.python.org/t/demoting-the-is-operator-to-avoid-an-identity-crisis/86/
- but there was no of acknowledgement of Eryk Sun
For everyone who managed to reply *hours* after Eryk Sun posted the
correct answer and still get it wrong, here it is again in full.
As a bonus, here's a link to the place where this answer appears in the
documentation:

I've heard that libraries using ctypes, cffi, or cython code of various
sorts in the real world wild today does abuse the unfortunate side effect
of CPython's implementation of id(). I don't have specific instances of
this in mind but trust what I've heard: that it is happening.
id() should never

The id() function is documented as returning an abstract ID number. In
CPython, that happens to have been implemented as the address of the
object.
