I thought this was pretty neat # WARNNG: never do this! id113 = id(113) iptr = IntStruct.from_address(id113) iptr.ob_digit = 4 # now Python's 113 contains a 4! 113 == 4 And now since the proper value 113 doesn't exist you have to resort to the binary representation on your system to revert back to normal behavior ctypes.cast(id113, ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_char))[3 * 8] = b'\x71'

After trying this, 113 == 4 is still False for me.

  There was a slight typo in the article, the line of code should be ctypes.cast(id(113), ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_char))[3 * 8] = b'\x71'
