Also, the default month combined with a specific year doesn't make much sense to me, and someone who specifies find_monthly_expenses(month=6) in May probably wants the June of the past year... Keep the function simple an make the arguments non-optional. If you can come up with a nice heuristic put it in a separate function. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
