Just because two instances from the same object have the same value
does not mean they are equal. For a real-life example, look at
twins: biologically identical, yet not equal.
I think they *are* equal in Python if they have the same value, by
definition, because somewhere the Python docs state that equality
compares the object's values.
The reality though is that value is more vague than equality test (as it
was already pointed out in this thread): A class designer can directly
implement what equality means to the class, but he or she cannot
implement an accessor method for the value. The value plays a role only
indirectly as part of equality and ordering tests.
