Re: [Python-ideas] Short form for keyword arguments and dicts

Why not just add a single marker followed by the names, something like this:

return get_special_url(special='appdir', =, per_user, for_domain, create)

Interesting idea. Similar to using the '*' to only allow keyword arguments. Rather than having '*' in the `def` and '=' at the call-site, why not use the '*' in both places? Then it would mean 'only keyword-arguments allowed' and 'these names are the keyword arguments'. Because the variable names are the same as the keyword names we're not losing anything. -- ~Ethan~
