Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 I delved deeper into this, and it seems that the difference is caused by range being a method (of bltinmodule, defined as METH_VARARGS), while xrange is a constructor for a rangeobject. Such constructor functions get three arguments (the type object, the args and the kw args), and when the kw args are not checked like in str(), they can pass freely and are ignored. I have attached a patch which changes the range object constructor (xrange) to accept keyword arguments. Other builtin types that need such a correction include buffer, set, slice.
