We're arguing at cross-purposes then since you are obviously interested
in these esoteric aspects, but all I want to do is avoid remembering a
long list of defaults. Here's an example from another language, a
function I'm working on at the minute:
function asklist(caption,&data,n=1, rows=10, width=50, flags="",
buttons=(), tablist=(), heading="")=
9 parameters, 7 of them optional. This is designed to be used with
keyword arguments which is where the default values come into their own,
as you don't need to remember positional order either.
Very basic stuff and very obvious what it's for. Notice some defaults
are () (empty lists here), which are the ones that cause bother in Python.
(Here, however, the language doesn't like you doing in-place
modification of a parameter unless the '&' is used, in which case you
wouldn't be able to assign a default value such as () as you can only
pass l-values.)

OK, so the "=" is misleading if not a lie.

No. But I would be surprised if, after this point, [] is no longer an
empty list either!
No, forget that; by now, I wouldn't be surprised at all!
(That [] isn't changed is probably thanks to [] being implemented with
the BUILD_LIST byte-code, which constructs a brand-new empty list each
time. So the next time [] is used, it will be a different one from the
one that has just been appended to.
In my language, a construct such as [10,20,30] is evaluated just once at
start-up. If Python did the same, then I suspect such a literal could
conceivably be changed if just "=" was used to ______[1] it to 'a'.)
([1] To avoid further argument, insert your own choice of jargon here.)
