Just like to point out that 5 is really 5a and 5b 5a One can give the option at the function call point 5b One can set a module level flag: See how pandas sets 'pandas.options. ...' for similar choices https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/missing_data.html I guess I'd go for 5b even though it makes the code less 'functional' in the sense of FP — ie the same (looking) function call can have different effects -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
