There were a lot of solutions like this. I'd like to point out that
you can put the "marker" in the class:
class A(object):
default = object()
def __init__(self, n):
self.data = n
def f(self, x = default):
if x is self.default:
x = self.data
print x
This way you don't pollute the module namespace with class-specific
names. You pollute the class namespace instead - which seems like an
improvement.
