How to create the int 1 at two different memory locations?

Question

I want to show someone how using is instead of == to compare integers can fail. I thought this would work, but it didn\'t:

Answer 1

You can do:

>>> 0 - 6 is -6
False
>>> 0 - 6 == -6
True

It also works for bigger numbers:

>>> 1000 + 1 is 1001
False
>>> 1000 + 1 == 1001
True

It depends on what you want to demonstrate but the above highlights the difference in functionality between is and ==.
