Thanks a lot for mentioning this.  I do try to help out, and sometimes
it feels like talking to the wind.  A thanks every now and then is
greatly appreciated.

Just for fun, you can play with:

     import sys
     sys.getrefcount(123**18)
vs.
     sys.getrefcount(12)

You should know that 'small' integers are kept and shared once built.
Similarly, some strings (including all one-character strings and strings
that might be identifiers).
     sys.getrefcount('a')
     sys.getrefcount('probably_not_really_a_variable')
