This works only for quite simple cases -- cases without state. If you have something with state, than some function calls may change the state and thereby changing the effect of later function calls. This means: the same function call (same function, same arguments) may give different results over time. As a consequence, the initial state and the execution order becomes important. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
