I’ll read a couple of times the beforementioned article … but there is definitely one sentence which caught my attention there “The hash of an object …

@denisT Let me simplify my previous question, would you know to explain me why the hashes are different here? for n in traverse(): print(hash(n.G…

@denisT First of all, thank you very much for these last comments of yours, they’re really unvaluable information! That said, I think all my confusi…
