Hi all. I've stumbled onto a python behavior that I don't understand at all.
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52) # function def X(l=[]): l.append(1) print l # first call of X X() [1] #second call of X X() [1, 1] Where does the list parameter 'l' live between the two successive calls of X(). Why is it not recreated with an empty list? Is this correct behavior or is it a Python bug? Does anyone have any pointers to the language documentation where this behavior is described? Thanks all Bart van Deenen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
