The new way:

my_b, my_c= paramdefault, paramdefault [code to assign my_b and my_c] foo(a, my_b, my_c) [snip] It is so extremely uncommon to need to do such a thing that I'm firmly against adding any additional syntax. Syntax should only be introduced for common things that many people need.

Mr. Bethard, I am not adding syntax. Don't put words in my mouth. This is another one- observe the subject line. Tell me you always make a call with the same parameters, every time you make the call. My thinking can't be that backwards. A use case could take some time, but sure.

Hmm... If ``paramdefault`` isn't syntax, then how are you proposing to implement it? STeVe -- I'm not *in*-sane. Indeed, I am so far *out* of sane that you appear a tiny blip on the distant coast of sanity. --- Bucky Katt, Get Fuzzy
