This is the wrong list to ask for help with something like this. comp.lang.python/python-list is the proper place to try to get help. On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 18:07, Andrey Fedorov <anfedorov@gmail.com> wrote:

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
