I was discussing "Mutable default arguments" from "10 Python pitfalls"
(http://zephyrfalcon.org/labs/python_pitfalls.html) with a colleague
just the other day. The conversation went something like this:
Him: Did you know about this?
Me: Yes, it's a weird one isn't it. I don't do default arguments
like that unless it's what I actually want.
Him: Oh ok, what do you do instead?
Me: I set the default argument to None and check inside the
function. I've got an example here ...
At which point I opened up the albatross.httpdapp module, paged down to
HTTPServer.__init__() ... and discovered I'd done exactly the wrong
thing for the static_resources arg! Oops :$.
That code was in the httpapp patch I sent some time ago. I very much
doubt it would ever cause a problem but could you add the obvious fix
anyway.
Cheers, Matt
