Python Basic Doubt

[Krishnan Shankar]

Hi Fellow Python Friends,

I am new to Python and recently subscribed to the mailing list.I have a
doubt regarding the basics of Python. Please help me in understanding the
below concept.

So doubt is on variables and their contained value.

Why does in the below example from Interpreter exploration value of c take
pre existing memory location.

>>> a=10
>>> id(a)
21665504
>>> b=a
>>> id(b)
21665504
>>> c=10
>>> id(c)
21665504

I am actually assigning new value to c. But from the value of id() all
three variables take same location. With variables a and b it is ok. But
why c taking the same location?

Regards,
Krishnan
