It won't work with a True/False flag, but if you can guarantee that all real options will evaluate as True, you can use a simpler notation: def doSomething(option=None): option=option or defaults['option'] You can't explicitly set option to False/0 with this, but it is a bit cleaner (IMO - some may disagree).
