Is there a difference between `==` and `is` in Python?

There is a simple rule of thumb to tell you when to use == or is.

• == is for value equality. Use it when you would like to know if two objects have the same value.
• is is for reference equality. Use it when you would like to know if two references refer to the same object.

>>> a =
>>> b =
>>> a == b
True
>>> a is b
False

注： 判断None的只能用xxx is None来做
