(original) (raw)

Just to be clear though: \*\*-args must follow any \*-args and position arguments. So at worst, your example is:

f(x, y, \*k, \*b, c, \*\*w, \*\*d)

Best,

In a way, it's a simplification, since functions are now simply called
with a sequence of "generalized arguments"; there's no privileged kwarg
or vararg. Of course, I wonder how much of f(\*\*w, x, y, \*k, \*b, \*\*d, c)
we would see...
