Python object equality: id vs value comparison
Demonstrates the difference between default identity comparison and custom equality, with a value-based class implementing __eq__ and __hash__.
import copy
class IdOnly:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
class ValueId:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def __eq__(self, other):
return isinstance(other, ValueId) and self.name == other.name
def __hash__(self):
return hash(self.name)
def…How to Test Properties with Random Inputs in Python
Write a simple property-based test in Python using random string generation to verify that string invariants like reverse-twice identity and uppercase idempotence always hold.
import random
import string
def generate_random_string(length: int) -> str:
"""Generate a random alphanumeric string of given length."""
chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits
return "".join(random.choice(chars) for _ in range(length))

trust_domain: str
namespace: str

Create a local mock OIDC userinfo endpoint in Flask that returns a standard JSON user payload, ideal for testing auth flows without a real identity provider.
from flask import Flask, jsonify
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/userinfo")
def userinfo():
mock_user = {
"sub": "1234567890",
"name": "John Doe",
"email": "john@example.com",
"email_verified": True,
"groups": ["admin", "dev"]
}
return jsonify(mock_user)
