Whoops, I meant to call
print walk([1,2,3], [])
print walk([4,5,6])
and
print walk([1,2,3])
print walk([4,5,6])
with
def walk(seq, result = []):
for item in seq:
result.append(item)
return result
The question is still the same: Why do both calls give different results?
Thank you very

mean that the scope of optional arguments is global if they aren't
used and local if they are (or am I missing something here)?
