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:
# First we have to import comment_arguments from arglib
# Sadly arglib is not yet a standard library.
from arglib import comment_arguments
def add(*args, **kwargs):
c_args, c_kwargs = comment_arguments()
return sum([int(i) for i in args + c_args])
# Go ahead and change the comments.
# See how they are used as arguments.
result = add() # 1, 2
print(result)
# comment arguments can be combined with normal function arguments
result = add(1, 2) # 3, 4
print(result)
Output:

Choosing lib as the name for my module was a bit devious.
I did it because I thought if I am creating something cursed why not go all the way?

I thought simply posting this in programmer humor was enough. Anyways, the techniques shown here are not yet regarded best practice. Decide carefully if you want to apply the shown concepts in your own code bases.

They chose violence.
The best language is complete, succinct, orderly and clear. And never adds a single goddamn thing ever.
bro what we are devolving
Every day further from god’s light etc…
TMI 😢
This is heresy.
Thank you, I hate it
That’s quite cool. But I’m not sure what’s the use case for it.
To make bugs less traceable, I guess.
Makes sence if u think about it. We use comments as docstrings that the interpreter has an understanding of. Python lets u fuck with its internals (at least in an immutable manner) so why not fuck with comments.
Why, just why
because OP wanted upvotes, this isn’t actually part of python in any way, it’s using a custom library to do it.
Yeah. This post was made to show off something cursed I created.
I have already updated the repo to make it more obvious this is not standard Python. I will do the same with the post.
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.
I have updated the repository. Just clone it.
The lib module was written by me. Actual implementation code is here: https://github.com/raldone01/python_lessons_py/blob/v2.0.0/arglib.py
I fucking hate this, thanks OP
How do I delete this part of the python documentation?
That’s disgusting
This is an affront to nature. Comments shouldn’t even make it past the scanner.
I feel sick
