[issue9702] Python violates most users expectations via the modification differences of immutable and mutable objects in methods

[david]

david <db.pub.mail at gmail.com> added the comment:

In c pointers are *explicit*, ditto in c++, in java everything is a pointer.
In asm, well that is asm.
This behaviour in python, makes python code *really* hard to read and *hard* to understand. 

Can you python devs / people stop calling a bug reporter stupid when they point out language flaws?
