I’m learning python after 10y of javascript and taking some notes

if you’re using global or nonlocal keywords, you’re probably doing something wrong. i’ve never used them past intro to cs course and i’ve written a lot of python

you don’t need * in fn def for keyword args, it just forces you to specify their name when calling, otherwise you could treat them as positional (and get the order wrong)

imo biggest python caveat: it only has function-scoped variables. that can bite you eg in closures in for loops
