Python supports output variables in a limited fashion, you can pass in a mutable object (like a list), that the function can mutate to return an 'output' value. What Python can't do is rebind a name provide by the caller to a new object, thus a parameter bound to an immutable object (like a number or string) can't have its value changed. -- Richard Damon _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/OUHNCBZT54Q7M52JWNYUHRNSG4R7UJM3/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
