Why does a class method equal itself, but isn't itself?

>>> class Test:
...     def test(self): pass
...
>>> t = Test()
>>> t.test == t.test
True
>>> t.test is t.test
False

  • Try `print(id(t.test))` on both sides of the check and you'll see why `is` isn't working – OneCricketeer Jun 16 '16 at 18:48

    Interestingly, `print(id(t.test) == id(t.test))` prints `True` on my machine, so that might lead one to suspect that `is` would evaluate to True as well. – Kevin Jun 16 '16 at 18:50
