I'm fairly sure that both you and Bart know full well I was talking about positional arguments. My example used only positional arguments, and my reply to Serhiy explicitly referenced positional arguments. But don't bother responding to what I *actually* said, it's much more fun to attack a strawman, right? And besides, Bart's "showarg" function is a waste of space: it could be simply replaced by print. py> dummy(a=print(1), *[print(2), print(3)]) 2 3 1 You want some more examples of non-left to right evaluation order? Comprehensions. Ternary if. Are there any others? Could be. So what? The existence of odd corner cases in the language doesn't invalidate my example that doesn't go anywhere near those odd corners. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
