oops... it is in the tutorial... sorry. though, where would one find it in the python reference? i.e. the function def with variable/default parameters.
This is not a rhetorical question, but where would one start to look for it in the python ref? a language is used by programers. Subroutine definition with variable/default parameters is a basic issue a programer wants to know, and different languages differs very much in how they handle this. This is what i mean that the language doc should be programing oriented, as opposed to computer-sciency or implementation oriented...
