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.
Link to the source code: https://github.com/raldone01/python_lessons_py/blob/main/lesson_0_comments.ipynb
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
That sounds fine if you have something reading the file independently. But the actual executable code should not be able to access its own comments.
capability is fine. Conflation is stupid. You can also use code to erase itself, but thinking that’s a good idea is generally wrong. But to remove that, you also remove the general ability to erase files.
Comments aren’t normally accessible unless you (independently) open and read the source code file as you would with any arbitrary file.
