Straying slightly from the issue of keyword arguments, I'd like to point out that the nested brackets imply to me that the flags arg requires the nbytes arg to be present as well. Compare to your suggestions: > * Add '=' after parameters that can be provided as keywords: > buffer=, [nbytes=, flags=] ... > > * Write keyword arguments as unnested square brackets: > (buffer[, nbytes][, flags]) Neither of those notations conveys a dependence of one argument on the other. _______________________________________________ Doc-SIG maillist - Doc-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/doc-sig
