If you have an arg whose default is something you’re not supposed to bind as a default value in the function sig (e.g. the result of a function call), make it an Optional, default it to None, and then on the first line just do some_arg = some_arg or interesting_function()
I personally dislike this because when you read “or” you expect some boolean result not a random object :/
there’s always the second option for you
In python: Not necessarily.
