Interpreter and running a .py file give different outputs - PythonNPC - Jul-14-2019 I have written the following code which gives different output when saved as a .py file and run and on the Python interpreter. a=100000 b=a c=100000 print (id(a),id(b),id(c))Output when saving as .py file and running through command prompt: 2122603390032 2122603390032 2122603390032 All memory addresses are same. Output via interpreter: 2351093736464 2351093736464 2351093736304 Last memory address is different. Why is this happening? I am on Python 3.7.4. What are the differences when running on the interpreter and when running a .py file.

But every time I run the .py file, the memory locations are the same, while every time I run the same code via the interpreter the memory locations are different. So is it that the interpreter runs programs slightly differently as compared to running a .py file directly?

See here to see if it explains this behaviour.
