Multiple File Handles For The Same File

So this question got me thinking. I did some testing with multiple file handles for the same file, and found some odd results that I was hoping someone could explain. >>>

Solution 1:

The underlying mechanism is explained here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html

some types (for example, file objects) support only a degenerate notion of comparison where any two objects of that type are unequal

...

Non-identical instances of a class normally compare as non-equal unless the class defines the eq() method or the cmp() method.
