[Tutor] How memory works in Python

[Deepak Dixit]

Hi Team,

I was thinking on the memory management in Python but little confused here
because when I assign same value of type number and string to different
variable, it points to same memory but when I do it for list or tuple it
points to different memory locations.

Here is the code and the output:

# test.py
x1 = 10
y1 = 10

x2 = "Hello"
y2 = "Hello"

x3 = [10]
y3 = [10]

x4 = (10,)
y4 = (10,)

print id(x1) == id(y1)
print id(x2) == id(y2)
print id(x3) == id(y3)
print id(x4) == id(y4)

deepak at Deepak-PC:~$ python test.py
True
True
False
False


Can you help me to understand how it works?
