Hello All,
I am not a beginner in Python language but I discovered a hidden
property of immutable elements as Numbers and Strings.
s ='xyz'
>>> t = str('xyz')
>>> id(s) == id(t)
True
Thus if I create 2 different instances of string if the string is
identical (numerically).
I get the same object in py db. It could be evident but if I do the same
(same elements) with a list it
will not give the same result. Is-it because of immutable property of
strings and numbers?
Regards
Karim
