Although I've made it look like I have a working implementation, I haven't. I know exactly how to do it, though, except for the AST part ;) Once I figure out how to properly work with the AST code I'll probably write this patch whether it's a definite 'no' or not, just to see if I can. I wouldn't mind if people gave their opinion, though.

A phase 1 for Python 2.5 that allowed keyword args to go between "*args" and "**kwds" at the call site would be nice (Guido even approved the concept already, it's that it hasn't irritated anyone enough to actually tweak the grammar. . .)

Cheers, Nick.
