The 63rd issue of Python Monthly highlights important topics for Python developers. It addresses the mutable default parameter bug, a common issue in Python that leads to unexpected function behavior. Additionally, it encourages engaging projects, such as compiling the original Python 1.0 source code, that celebrate Python's 31-year legacy. The newsletter also introduces CUDA programming for Python, emphasizing its potential for performance enhancement by leveraging GPU capabilities. Lastly, it mentions the recent support from PyPI for distributing mobile packages for iOS and Android.
Ever had a Python function behave strangely, remembering values between calls when it shouldn't? You're not alone! This is one of Python's sneakiest pitfalls-mutable default parameters.
