Is a list mutable?

Short answer. Yes, it keeps the same id after append.

What does id() show?

An object's identity.

Remember

int, float, str: immutable
list, dict, set: mutable
id() shows identity

A number or a list: Which stays the same object? Id gives identity. We change both. Runs got a new id, so ints are immutable. The list kept its id. Int, float, str: immutable. List, dict, set: mutable. Id shows identity.
