I think the indexes of the documentation are quite good:

  http://docs.python.org/lib/genindex.html
  http://docs.python.org/ref/genindex.html

First occurance of "default" in the reference index leads to the 
information about default parameters and that they are executed once, 
when the ``def`` statement is executed:

  http://docs.python.org/ref/function.html#l2h-634
