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
This isn’t standard python.
libis not in the standard library. Python also doesn’t have any special variables where it stores comments, other than__doc__which stores a docstring. If I had to guess,addis reading the file/REPL via__file__.Is __doc__ storing a comment or just a text string?
It’s a string, although sometimes Python conflates the two. The recommended way to make a multi-line comment is to just make a multi-line string and just don’t use it.
