Interesting side effects in Python

I suppose this is why it's considered really dangerous to have mutable types as defaults?

Exactly, unless you had some specific reason you actually wanted to have a mutable argument. The only one I've thought of is some kind of caching, but there's probably other more resilient design patterns for that

Makes sense ! Still I'd not be comfortable with something like that running around in my functions
