Hi,

I'm trying to write a python function that can take keywords such as 'class'.
Is that possible ?

I'd like to be able to define something like:

def entity(type, body, **attr):
    print '<' + type + ' ' + string.join(map(lambda item:', %s="%s"'%item, attr.items())) + '>'
    print body
    print '</type>'

and would like to call it like

entity('div', text, class='header')

Is there any way to achieve the desired effect ?

Thanks,	Stefan
