Use of the "is" statement

[Joel Corbin]

Thank you Gary, Cédric, Christian. When *would *one use "is"?

Cédric... the problem I was having was purely an issue of comparison.... "if
file.tell() is 0L" was returning False. Strangely enough, "if file.tell() is
0" returns True in the right cases. I assume this is related to the None
case?
