id(obj)

Example:

>>> x = 10
>>> id(x)
134536908

But this probably (most likely) isn't it's address in memory
but more it's unique identifier that separates it from every
other object in memory.

You can't do this in Python afaik nor would you want to.

If you simply want to copy an object, do this:

>>> x = 10
>>> y = x
>>> id(x)
134536908
>>> id(y)
134536908
>>>
