naming convention for functions that mutate their arguments?

Hi all,

I was wondering if there was any official/recommended way to denote that a
Python function may mutate one or more of its arguments?  I took a glance at
PEP 8, but didn't see anything along these lines.  A google search turned up
something similar (

across a resolution.

Thanks!
mike
