[Ron Adam] > def f(a, b, c=?, d=x): Another problem with this is that it uses punctuation in a manner that's neither similar to how it is used in written English (or Dutch, or any other Latin language) nor resembling of other areas in Python. I know this is a very strict constraint, and sometimes we violate it (@decorators come to mind) but still, as a general guideline, if it can be avoided, using punctuation in new and strange ways just isn't Pythonic. That also applies to using ';' but not (at least not so strongly) to '*' (since that can easily be seen as "*args without the args").
