From my perspective, a function parameter should be considered as

until runtime), and as an assigned variable, it should be considered
local.
That is exactly the case for Python functions.
>>> def f(a,b):
c,d = 3,4
print(locals())
>>> f.__code__.co_varnames # local names
('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')
>>> f(1,2)
{'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2, 'd': 4}
The requirement for a function call is that all parameters get an
assignment and that all args are used in assignments (either directly by
position or keyname or as part of a *args or **kwds assignment).
