> a function taking a single argument usually does not need that argument to be named Would you rather have: thread_pool.shutdown(True) or thread_pool.shutdown(wait=True) Even with single argument, it's not always clear what the argument means from the function name, so being explicit makes the code more readable. EDIT: I realize you said "usually", but my point still stands.
