[Python-ideas] Re: PEP 671 (late-bound arg defaults), next round of discussion!

My Option 1 (future statement, deprecation of early binding, and permanent switch to late binding): +

I have no authority about this at all, and a negligible amount of influence, but I’ve been around Python a long time: That is not going to happen. Way too much of a breaking change, and early bound defaults are useful, and awkward to replicate. It was not an accident. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
