Then it's a sure design smell IMHO. Don't mix presentation wi

Suppose I want to do modify all arguments which are passed to a
function. Do I need to use a list comprehension such as
def f(arg1,arg2,arg3):
arg1,arg2,arg3 = [i+1 for i in (arg1,arg2,arg3)]

what looks like "assignment" really is binding a name to an object. The
result is that inside the loop I am creating an objec
