On the current tip (changeset: 96023:4b5461dcd190) the following results in a syntax error def test(a='a', b='b'): print(a, b) opta = dict() optb = dict(a=1, b=2) test(**(opta or {})) # <- works on all python test(**optb or {}) # <- fails on current hg tip This is suspected to be a result of https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a65f685ba8c0 This was reported as an issue against sphinx (https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/1889) and I was redirected here. As suggested by Robert Lehmann suggests the issue is https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a65f685ba8c0#l1.33 which should be `** test`. Making this change prevents the syntax error (patch attached).
