Hi all,
I've written a function [1] called apply_some which takes a set of keywords arguments, filters only those a function is expecting, and calls the function with only those arguments. This is meant to suppress TypeErrors - a way to abstract the logic which checks what arguments a passed-in function accepts.
For example:
def foo(x=1, y=2): return (x,y)
apply_some(foo, y=0, z="hi") // calls foo(y=0) -> (1,0)
I'd like to expand this to fill undefined arguments with None, but before I do, does anyone know of any packages/libraries which either do something similar or would make this code cleaner?
Cheers, Andrey
