To be fair, I have come prefer approaching the problem stated in the link in the exact opposite direction. Specifically the part about having a collection of functions with signatures that are similar/identical. The example in the post is of a simple signature, but if you have more complex (and long) signatures and a bunch of functions that use them, it might be worth thinking about replacing the argument list with a frozen dataclass. @dataclass(frozen=True) class MyArguments: a: int, b: str, c: list = None def func1(self): ... def func2(self): ... etc. You can also sprinkle in @property and functools things like @cached, @cached_property when desired. It also lets you create functions that transform MyArguments into different MyArguments.
