Hi, could someone help me understand why this assertion fails?

def test_is(self):

    a = np.empty(1)

    b = np.empty(1)

I'm trying to write an alternate may_share_memory function.

id seems not as advertised:

In [22]: for i in range(10): print id(a.data)

66095792

66095792
66094640
66094640
66094640

Not sure why.
