Python’s and Numpy’s nan and set

by

One of the properties of NAN is that NAN != NAN, unlike all other numbers. However, the implementation of set first checks to see if id(x) matches the existing member at a hash index before it tries to insert a new one. If you have two objects with different ids that both have the value NAN, you’ll get two entries in the set. If they both have the same id, they collapse into a single entry.

As pointed out by others, np.nan is a single object that will always have the same id.
