Does ID function create a new object?

I have 2 variables (links) a and b that are pointing to the same object, and, of course

a is b #true

But when im asking about memory addr for the same object that this links pointing to

id(a) is id(b) #false

Does that mean that id is creating a new object ? How long will this object last ? What type will it be? What’s going on?

>Solution :

>>> a is b
True 

They are the same object…

>>> id(a) == id(b)
True 

They have the same id…

>>> id(a) is id(b)
False 

…but the integers representing their ids are not the same object.

That’s because in Python ints are objects too.

I would suggest you to read this, this and this.
