Maybe this will help:

    Python 3.5.3+ (default, Jun  7 2017, 23:23:48) 
    [GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> False == 0
    True
    >>> False is 0
    False


=====> Just wondering: Is this 'is' test depending on an implementation detail of cPython (small ints, I forgot how small 0-255 maybe, are  singletons)?
