That's what I reached for as my first try, but it's no different from this:

>>> def f(x=42): return x + 1
...
>>> n1 = f()
>>> n2 = f(n1-1)
>>> n1 is n2
True

Clearly in this case, the "x + 1" is getting evaluated at run-time,
and yet the interpreter is welcome to intern the constants. So no, it
isn't proof - it's equally well explained by the code object being
constant.
