*In Python*, you cannot.  Ids are mainly for internal use of 
implementations.  Implementors also use them to test their implementation.

*CPython* comes with a module (ctypes) that can be used to muck around 
with interpreter internals, but it is definitely not for beginners.  I 
don't know about other implementations.
