Unless you intend to use a mutable object as a default value, and have
it persist from one call to the next. Then it is absolutely fine.
One of the use-cases for late-binding is that it will allow a safe and
obvious way to get a *new* mutable default each time you call the
function:
def func(arg, @more=[])
would give you a new empty list each time you call func(x), rather than
the same list each time.
