Currently in Cython, one can do
1 f(1)
2
3 def f(x):
4 print x
This doesn't work in Python. Also, if one does
1 def f(x):
2 return x
3
4 f = math.sin
5 print f(10)
it doesn't do the same things as Python either.
We should probably at least simulate the correct behavior, without sacrificing the compile-time linking of module-level functions.
One approach to implementation
This doesn't work either:
1 class Bar(object):
2 CONST = 25
3 def foo(self, value=CONST):
4 print value
This gives a compile-time error.
