@diliup:
It's because python's is operator checks if the two item is the same, and == checks for equality. Also python stores an object for the numbers from -5 to 255 to speed up things.Check it:a = 255b = 255print a is bprint id(a), id(b)a = 256b = 256print a is bprint id(a), id(b)Hope it clears up some things!2014-06-23 9:37 GMT+02:00 diliup gabadamudalige <diliupg@xxxxxxxxx>:

or whatever every frame, then it's not going to fill up, as these
returned events are removed from the queue. As long as you are reading
the whole buffer, say every 100ms, you're going to be fine. Otherwise,
you're just throwing away the events that have arrived between the
event.get() and event.clear() calls.

So, if we write:
    "foo" is True
We can clearly see these are not the same object. One is a string, and
the other is the True object. But, if we do:
    "foo" == True
Then, we are asking if the string evaluates to a True value, when
treated as a boolean. And any non-empty string will be considered True,
and so it is equal to True (but not the same object).
Futhermore, what Greg was saying is that some objects can be of the same
value and still not be the same object. Thus:
    a = 4040
    b = 4040
    a == b Â# True
    a is b Â# Could be False
    b = a Â# b now references the a object itself
    a is b Â# Always True
This becomes more obvious if we were to use mutable types:
    a = [2]
    b = [2]
    # Obviously, these are two distinct objects
    a == b Â# True
    a is b Â# False
    # Changing one, would not change the other, as they are
    different
    # objects.
    a.append(3)
    a == b Â# False
On an interesting sidenote, it is not even required that an object is
equal to itself:
    a = float("NaN")
    a == a Â# False
