When you call a function, Python binds function parameter names to

def f(a, b): pass
a call f(1, 'x') starts by executing
a, b = 1, 'x'
in the local namespace. Nothing is being 'passed'.
The Dude: Look, nothing is passed, here, man.
The Big Lebowski: Nothing is passed? The god damn argument has crashed
into the parameter!
