Python allows programmers to pass additional arguments to functions via comments. Now armed with this knowledge head out and spread it to all code bases.
Feel free to use the code I wrote in your projects.

Image transcription:
from lib import add
# Go ahead and change the comments.
# See how python uses them as arguments.
result = add() # 1 2
print(result)
result = add() # 3 4
print(result)
result = add() # 3 4 5 20
print(result)
Output:
3
7
32
You must log in or register to comment.
This is some javascript level shit
TMI 😢
I assume the people freaking out about how dumb python is didn’t bother to read the code and have never coded in python in their life, because the behavior here is totally reasonable. Python doesn’t parse comments normally, which is what you’d expect, but if you tell it to read the raw source code and then parse the raw source code for the comments specifically, of course it does.
You would never, ever accidentally do this.
…you’d also never, ever do it on purpose.
That’s disgusting
Thank you, I hate it
Every day further from god’s light etc…
Implementation of the
add()function is here: https://github.com/raldone01/python_lessons_py/blob/main/lib.pyYup, the function actually goes and finds the code that calls it and parses the comment.
Disgusting.
What? There is no
libmodule.$ python3.13 -c 'import lib' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> import lib ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lib' $OP wrote this add() function and has provided their own lib module in the source code.
Oh, so it’s not Python that’s cursed.
One of Python’s design philosophies is—or at least was—“we are all consenting adults here.” If you really want to turn Python into Brainfuck, the interpreter isn’t going to stop you.
