python - `b = a` 是否使 `b` 成为同一个对象？为什么？

Answer 1

a = [81, 82, 83]
b = a
print(a is b) #prints True

这是实际发生的事情:

对于类似的东西:

a = [81,82,83]
b = [81,82,83]

print(a is b) # False

print(a == b)  #True, as == only checks value equality

In [24]: import sys

In [25]: a=[1,2,3]

In [26]: sys.getrefcount(a) #number of references to [1,2,3] are 2
Out[26]: 2

In [27]: b=a       #now b also points to [1,2,3]

In [28]: sys.getrefcount(a)   # reference to [1,2,3] got increased by 1,
                              # as b now also points to [1,2,3]
Out[28]: 3

In [29]: id(a)
Out[29]: 158656524      #both have the same id(), that's why "b is a" is True

In [30]: id(b)
Out[30]: 158656524

何时使用 copy模块:

In [1]: a=[1,2,3]

In [2]: b=a

In [3]: id(a),id(b)        
Out[3]: (143186380, 143186380)   #both point to the same object

In [4]: b=a[:]                #now use slicing, it is equivalent to b=copy.copy(a)
                              # or b= list(a)    

In [5]: id(a),id(b)
Out[5]: (143186380, 143185260)     #as expected both now point to different objects
                                   # so now changing one will not affect other

In [6]: a=[[1,2],[3,4]]          #list of lists

In [7]: b=a[:]                   #use slicing

In [8]: id(a),id(b)            #now both point to different object as expected
                               # But what about the internal lists?
Out[8]: (143184492, 143186380)

In [11]: [(id(x),id(y)) for (x,y) in zip(a,b)]   #so internal list are still same objects
                                                 #so doing a[0][3]=5, will changes b[0] too
Out[11]: [(143185036, 143185036), (143167244, 143167244)]

In [12]: from copy import deepcopy            #to fix that use deepcopy

In [13]: b=deepcopy(a)

In [14]: [(id(x),id(y)) for (x,y) in zip(a,b)]    #now internal lists are different too
Out[14]: [(143185036, 143167052), (143167244, 143166924)]
