Hi,
I cannot see any strange behavior. this code works exacly as you and I suspect:
>>> def otherfunction(x) : .... return x .... >>> def function(arg=otherfunction(5)) : .... return arg .... >>> function(3) 3 >>> function() 5
Or is this not what you excepted?
Channelling the effbot, I think he was asking what namespace context you expected the expression "arg=otherfunction(x)" to be evaluated in when it's used at the time of a function call to dynamically create a new default value for arg.
