Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: I just ran across the other reason that having the actual default values documented is important. Sometimes I want to do this:
some_func(param if some_condition else <use the default value>) If some_condition is False, I want the default behavior, if not, I want to pass in a parameter. If I don't know the real default value, I have to write: if some_condition: some_func(param) else: some_func() ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13386> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
