When I wrote Equality for Python, my example didn't mention how the Card objects could actually be a terrific waste of memory. A commenter named versimilidude (great handle!) beat me to this post, briefly describing the Flyweight Pattern. Luckily he didn't provide example code, so I still get to publish this post.
