I'm not sure I understand you here. How is the late-bound default "stored" when one side of a ternary is "not stored"?
def foo(a): ... b = a + 1 ... print(b) ... foo.__code__ <code object foo at 0x7f167e539710, file "<ipython-input-7-3c44060a0872>",
This seems like dishonest argument. I'm not even sure what point you think it is making. Every time I write a function, everything the function does needs to be STORED. The body is *stored* in the .__code__ attribute. Other things are stored in .__annotations__ and elsewhere. A function is an OBJECT, and everything about it has to be attributes of that object. line 1> A late binding isn't that one thing about a function that never gets stored, but floats in the ether magically ready to operate on a function call by divine intervention. It HAS TO describe *something* attached to the function object, doing *something* by some means. -- Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting advocates of freedom in prisons.
