(The interesting part is the else block.)

Default Argument Vault
Old calls keep returning
Captures how a mutable default parameter becomes a hidden vault, accumulating every invocation forever.

Как я создала ИИ-агента для анализа отзывов, потому что мне было лень читать 200+ строк в гугл таблице
Или история о том, как лень двигатель прогресса. Когда мне на курсе дали домашку проанализировать больше 200 отзывов о кофейне "Great Grounds", я поняла одно: читать это всё вручную я точно не буду. У меня был выбор: потратить несколько часов на монотонное чтение однотипных "кофе супер" и "цены кусаются", загрузить это в NotebookLM (что я сделала в последствии, для сравнения результатов) или повайбкодить. Например, создать своего мини ИИ-помощника, который сделает это за меня. Спойлер: я выбрала вайбкодинг, и вот что из этого вышло.

#Python Friday #313: Persisted Cache for Function Calls
https://pythonfriday.dev/2026/01/313-persisted-cache-for-function-calls/
Visualization of Python execution can help beginners to understand how their program state changes over time and to debug any remaining issues.
For example, a classic intro-course exercise — computing which coins to use to pay an amount using a greedy approach:

Let's use #TOML for #Python packaging, it will be fun, they said.
Now we have TOML 1.1, and if packages start using it, they will no longer work with tools only supporting TOML 1.0. Such fun :)

Hey folks! We have recently had a wonderful new release of #py5, read about the new 3D trimesh integration feature and the matplotlib TextPath integration.
That release was quickly followed by a release to fix some small issues that surfaced this last week. Please check out py5 0.10.9a1 and join us at https://github.com/py5coding/py5generator/discussions to share your experiences!
