[issue11773] Unicode compared using "is" results in abnormal behavior

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

The fact that "is" works in this way here is just an implementation detail.  If you want to compare strings use ==, "is" is used to verify if two variables refer to the same object or not.

>>> x = 100
>>> x is 100
True
>>> x = 1000
>>> x is 1000
False
