    Python How does Python tell that an integer is actually an integer?

    Look at this example, >>> a = 97 >>> type(a) <class 'int'> >>> bin(a) '0b1100001' >>> b = ord('a') >>> b 97 >>> type(b) <class 'int'> >>> bin(b) '0b1100001' Is this means that the string 'a' and the integer 97 stored as the same binary in the memory ? If so then how can python tell the...
