is id(self) constant over an object lifetime ?

You are misinterpreting the excerpt. You are right that the id of an
object doesn't change during the lifetime of a Python process and as
long as it stays inside a single process. However if you use some sort
of persistence layer like pickles or an IPC mechanism like
multiprocessing the id is definitely not constant. If you need something
stable, I suggest you look at the uuid module.
