The python "New" Module

This little module is designed to solve one of the most annoying issues python has. Imagine you want to create a function that on of the parameters defaults to an empty list:

>>> def no_new_func(a=[]):
...    a.append('new')
...    return a

>>> no_new_func()
['new']
>>> no_new_func()
['new', 'new']
>>>

The new module is designed to solve this issue using as explicitly as possible

>>> @NEW.parse
... def new_func(a=NEW.new([])):
...     a.append('new appended')
...     return a
...
>>> new_func()
['new appended']
>>> new_func()
['new appended']
