Well, that depends on what you mean by documented...

func(**d):
http://python.org/doc/current/ref/calls.html

def func(**kw):
http://python.org/doc/current/ref/function.html

This isn't very readable, though, being a part of the language reference.

I think I read about func(**d) for the first time in Andrew M. Kuchling's
"What's new in Python 2.0" (http://www.amk.ca/python/2.0/).

Peace,
