Congratulations, you've managed to introduce the most useless thread on 
this ng/ml that I've come across in the ten years that I've been using 
(c)Python.

I've never ever thought about using this weird thing called "id" in my 
code, (which comes later in all the responses) so why do some people 
think it's so important?
