sorry guys

"

id(/object/)¶ <http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#id>

    Return the “identity” of an object. This is an integer (or long
    integer) which is guaranteed to be unique and constant for this
    object during its lifetime. Two objects with non-overlapping
    lifetimes may have the same id()
    <http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#id> value.

Next time I promise to look at the doc before actually asking the 
question here :)
