[New-bugs-announce] [issue40565] is comparison returns False while ids are the same.

[halil ibrahim yıldırım]

New submission from halil ibrahim yıldırım <hyildirim at socialthinks.com>:

While id(a[:]) and id(a[0:3]) are the same however is comparison returns False. I thought it could be a bug.

>>> a = [1, 2, 3]
>>> id(a[:]) == id(a[0:3])
True
>>> a[:] is a[0:3]
False
