Hi Dom In your original post you said you're writing some code to improve handling of defaults (perhaps only in some situations). You also said that the feature you're suggesting would make your improved default handler easier to write.
Python already handles default values at least fairly well in many situations. Please would you provide at least one example of how your proposed default handler would be better than that already provided by Python. Please don't worry about the implementation. Please focus on the syntax and semantics and comparison with what Python does. I will value your response to my request more highly if it shows that you have a clear understanding of Python's present behaviour. I'd also welcome any example you provide of weaknesses in Python's present behaviour. I hope this helps. Jonathan
