Everything before the slash is positional-only, between the slash and star is positional-or-keyword, and after the star is keyword-only.

Is there syntax to combine

def some_func(a, b, /, *, the_other):

??? May be

def some_func(a, b, /*, the_other):

???

And slash is certainly no uglier than star. ;)

I tend to agree. Both are absolutely but equally ugly. :-(

       Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
