Why python methods are stored in different addresses?

Why python methods are stored in two different addresses?

Answer 1

it's not the address of the method, but of the object.

you create a new list object each time.

if you save it in a variable, you'll get the same address (and for all methods...)

>>> a = []
>>> a.sort
<built-in method sort of list object at 0x7f78138fa688>
>>> a.sort
<built-in method sort of list object at 0x7f78138fa688>
>>> a.count
<built-in method sort of list object at 0x7f78138fa688>
>>> a.index
<built-in method sort of list object at 0x7f78138fa688>
>>>
