I've found a note about this from Guido back in 2000: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/BIAEXJPSO... Not sure if it went anywhere back then.

consider the following function: def foo(a,b,c,x): pass
The following calls are equivalent: foo(1,2,3, x=0) foo(*(1,2,3), x=0) However, since python allows keyword arguments before star-unpacking, you can also do: foo(x=0, *(1, 2, 3)) But removing the unpacking, would result in a syntax error: foo(x=0, 1, 2, 3) This is against the understanding of unpacking, is this intentional? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/L5TYF3...
