Thanks for the feedback. I think I should have used a more obvious
string in my original example and a more descriptive parameter name.
So, pretend that instead of
c="today"
I wrote
record_date="defaults to today's date".
I know my way is unorthodox,
Which is fine. Just do not by surprised when a fake default fakes out
pylint, which by its nature, must embody the orthodoxy of its author ;-)
To win general acceptance, that in turn must match the orthodoxy of the
general audience.
but I think it is a little bit more obvious
to the reader than
record_date=None
The None is a signal to use a default value, but that is only apparent
after reading the code.
Thanks again for the comments.
