Certainly not. pos is - and that is standard python semantics - just a name. Passing the bound _value_ of pos to some function and rebinding the the name afterwards is perfectly legal and will work in all implementations. The question of style though remains. I wouldn't do that either, but what I frequntly do is something like this: pos = "10" pos = int(pos) Thus when I'm sort of transforming a value, I think it's ok, as the name still refers to the same conceptual entity.
