Let me try to explain this issue again.
"f1, f2 = lambda: 1, lambda: 1.0" is compiled to two MAKE_FUNCTION instructions, MAKE_FUNCTION takes a code object as parameter (and a name). The Python compiler merges constants which are seen as "equal", with exceptions to not merge values of different types, or float of different sign.
Merging duplicate code objects is a cool micro optimization, I prefer to keep it. My patch keeps this micro optimization, but fix the bug: it ensures that equal constants having different types are not seen as equal. For example, 0 is equal to 0.0, but if when used for code constants, the code objects are seen a different.
Patch version 3:
* as suggested by Armin Rigo & Serhiy Storchaka: use id(obj) in the constant key for unknown constant types -- in practice, this patch is never taken, it's just to be extra safe (I checked manually by running the whole test suite when an assertion, assertion not in the posted patch)
* add a lot of unit tests
* add a documentation to _PyCode_ConstantKey()
@Serhiy: does it look good to you now?

My patch now uses id(obj) in the "constant key" for unknown types. The compiler only emits simple type (int, str, ...), tuple, frozenset and code objects.
You *can* other types if you patch manually constants with custom objects, since code_richcomp() now uses the "constant key" function to compare constants. For example, my fat project has a replace_consts() function to inject builtin functions in constants:

There is also @asconstants decorator of codetransformer which allow to inject arbitrary types in function constants:
