The result is different when the first two statements are written in
one line:

>>> x = 10.0; y = 10.0
>>> x is y
1

So identity of builtin immutable types is indeed very ill-defined.
It depends on line breaks. It depende whether statements are entered
interactively or they come from a script. And of course it may be
different in other versions of the interpreter.
