Python 3: Change default values of existing function's parameters?

You can define a special version of print() using functools.partial() to give it default arguments:

from functools import partial

myprint = partial(print, end='-', sep='.')

and myprint() will then use those defaults throughout your code:

myprint(a)
myprint(b)
myprint(c)

You can also use a lambda function:

my_print = lambda x: print(x, end='-', sep='-')
my_print(a)
my_print(b)
my_print(c)

There is also a method that allows multiple parameters and works with lambdas:

my_print = lambda *args: print(*args, end="-", sep=".")
