I see it frequently too, but that's in code meant to be Python 2-compatible (and therefore cannot count on any ordering guarantee, even de facto). On Python 3 you can write: def foo(somekey=None, **kwargs): # do something with somekey? bar(**kwargs) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
