Isn't that javascript? Javascript idioms are not (necessarily) Python idioms.

True, but unless there is (preferably) a Python idiom or one from another language we borrow from at least somewhat frequently, why not adopt the Javascript idiom?

Note: I don't think you were arguing *against* this idiom, just querying the relevance.

I did question the OP's "value you need, value you want" characterization. It's not obvious to me you can decide that for the caller.
