Python allows programmers to pass additional arguments to functions via comments. Now armed with this knowledge head out and spread it to all code bases.

Feel free to use the code I wrote in your projects.

Link to the source code: https://github.com/raldone01/python_lessons_py/blob/main/lesson_0_comments.ipynb

Image transcription:

from lib import add

# Go ahead and change the comments.
# See how python uses them as arguments.

result = add()  # 1 2
print(result)
result = add()  # 3 4
print(result)
result = add()  # 3 4 5 20
print(result)

Output:

    What? There is no lib module.

    $ python3.13 -c 'import lib'
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
        import lib
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lib'

      OP wrote this add() function and has provided their own lib module in the source code.

        Oh, so it’s not Python that’s cursed.

        One of Python’s design philosophies is—or at least was—“we are all consenting adults here.” If you really want to turn Python into Brainfuck, the interpreter isn’t going to stop you.
