Python: Late Binding
Late binding, aka late evaluation is, good; it saves the machine time. Do not evaluate unless you need it. What then, if a system evaluate the file before no one is ever sure that the file would be used or not? Here is something that you can have a very strong opinion on. Would you want the system evaluating just by open()ing the file? Look at the following code in Python.
