| The error message below should state something along the lines of "f() takes at least 1 non-keyword argument (0 given)". Regardless, this is a regression from 2.6 which would have emitted "f() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)" which while not perfect, is a more accurate description of the problem: D:\rft\vsl\dlr\Languages\IronPython\Tests>27 Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> def f(a, b=2): pass ... >>> f(b=2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: f() takes at least 1 argument (1 given) >>> | ||

| Actually CPython 2.6 emits precisely what I'd expect: D:\rft\vsl\dlr\Languages\IronPython\Tests>26 Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> def f(a, b=2): pass ... >>> f(b=2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: f() takes at least 1 non-keyword argument (0 given) | ||

| Benjamin was the last one who worked on this code (in issue 6474), adding him to nosy. | ||

| FWIW, this case is tested in PyPy: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/397732/ | ||

| I think some one should just rewrite this code from scratch. Every time I fix something, it breaks something else. | ||
