Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

There is not 'integer caching in Python'.  This is strictly an implementation feature of CPython, and any other implementation that does similarly.

"or id(x) == id(y)" should be "(id(x) == id(y))" as the addition is an alternate wording, not an alternate condition.  I am not sure that this will always be helpful.
