New submission from Zachary Ware <zachary.w...@gmail.com>:
In https://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html#why-are-default-values-shared-between-objects there is an example showing memoization using `def expensive(arg1, arg2, _cache={}):`. We should change the signature in that example to make `_cache` a keyword-only parameter and possibly adjust the comment to note that that's been done to prevent accidental calls with three positional arguments. Note to existing contributors: if this wouldn't be within your first couple of patches, please leave this for a new contributor to find. Thanks! ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 319310 nosy: docs@python, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: [Good first-time issue] Recommend keyword-only param for memoization in FAQ versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33836> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
