I have (Finally!) gotten a bit of time to look at Peter's answer to my Model-View-Controller question from May 29th, particularly his CircleImageView class to which he added a "#FIXME" comment. I thought it would be helpful to abbreviate his distance function in the interpreter while I played around with pencil and graph paper. I got:
Python 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec 6 2015, 01:54:25) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. py3: def d(row, col/2, radius=5): File "<stdin>", line 1 def d(row, col/2, radius=5): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax And this surprised me. It seems that only identifiers are allowed as parameters in a function definition statement, and I cannot help but wonder why? It seems that in most other places in Python's syntax it will allow one to insert almost any kind of object or expression.
