<div dir="ltr">Thanks very much for your work! I am CC'ing python-dev to see if there are any last calls for PEP 448. Assuming no material objection appear to the new syntax and semantics, I can approve the PEP later this week. To get it committed, you need one of the active committers to give you a code review (waiting for me would mean waiting forever). Maybe Antoine, Benjamin or Victor?<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 9:39 AM, Neil Girdhar <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mistersheik@gmail.com" target="_blank">mistersheik@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I believe I have finally finished the work on the patch for PEP 448 (<a href="http://bugs.python.org/issue2292" target="_blank">http://bugs.python.org/issue2292</a>).

<br>
</span>f(a, b=2, *c) is currently legal as both a call and as a definition:<br>
<br>
a, *c = 1, 2, 3<br>
<br>
def f(*args, **kwargs):<br>
print(args, kwargs)<br>
<br>
f(a, b=2, *c)<br>
#>>> (1, 2, 3) {'b': 2}<br>
<br>
def f(a, b=2, *c):<br>
print(a, b, c)<br>
<br>
f(1, 2, 3)<br>
#>>> 1 2 (3,)<br>
<br>
So I imagine that's staying (or, at least, this PEP isn't removing<br>
it). I don't think anyone is (yet) arguing for f(a, b=2, c).<br>
