It's an interesting decision to be sure. Then again it's not really that arcane, the question is simply whether you calculate function defaults once or on every invocation. Python made the choice to run it once. What I don't get here is why they didn't simply use 'None' instead. If a parameter is optional then 'None' makes way more sense than an empty list. |
