Could anyone tell me how to set up IDLE's default working directory, so that it
would be in the same place for each startup? (Like C:\Users\myname\Python)
I teach a course that mounts a lot of file space across the network and the
default directory for all my students is a readonly directory,

It seems like the simplest solution for this is to make

Emending my own note from moments ago:

if len(args) == 0:
my_dict = kwargs
elif type(args[0]) == type(dict()):
my_dict = args[0]
else:
my_dict = dict(args[0])
print(type(my_dict),my_dict)
>>> any_as_dict(a=1,b=2)
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}

Will this do for you?

That would require a major rewrite of the grammer
of the Python language, which would
I'll preface this by saying I am a programming instructor
who still teaches from the ivory tower, so may not necessarily
reflect actual practice in industry.
But I have a very simple rule of thumb for limiting parameters:
One should be able to summarize what a function does in one or two

Re: Nonetype List
In my introductory programming course, I have drawn some attention to this
behavior regarding mutating lists. Indeed, Python is very consistent with its
behavior:
Any function that mutates a list parameter does not return that list as a
return value.
For one thing, there
