Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Using complex expressions is deceitful. In Python functions the default value is evaluated only once, at function creation time, but inspect.signature will evaluate it every time. For example foo(x={}) and foo(x=dict()) means the same in function declaration, but different in signature.
It could also affect security, because allow arbitrary code execution at the place where it was not allowed before. I think this issue should be discussed on Python-Dev. I'm not sure that it is pythonic. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23967> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
