In Python, the default values of parameters are evaluated only once
during their declaration. So, whenever the default parameter is used
the same object will be used. Since we use a list, which is a mutable
object, this could lead to unexpected results.

You could shorten this to self.additional_flags = additional or [].

@bnoordhuis Correct but if an empty list is actually passed, we ll still ignore it and create a new list, if we do additional or [] . We don't want that.

Thanks for the review Ben, landed in 52f84ad. I had changed, the super call of AddonTestConfiguration by passing additional to it.
