Me too. (Can you give the #ids of these other issues?)
See for example #13012.
I think we should fix C functions to accept kwargs for the sake of Python programmers, not merely to ease documentation (that would just be a nice side-effect :)
And also for compatibility for other implementations like PyPy. I'm still not sure that is a good idea to do a mass conversion of all the functions though.
Sphinx lets us give multiple signatures. I’ve just checked that this markup is valid and does not create duplicate index entries
This is something I was considering, but I'm afraid it might get too verbose (and introduce yet another convention). Sometimes this feature is also (mis?)used to group similar functions. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13386> _______________________________________
