[issue44216] Bug in class method with optional parameter

William Pickard added the comment: This is not a bug but a side-affect at how defaulted parameters are stored. The rule of thumb is to never use mutable values as default values for parameters. When a method is created in the Python runtime, it checks if the signature has defaulted keyword
