keyword argument: an argument preceded by an identifier (e.g. name=) in a 
function call or passed as a value in a dictionary preceded by **. For example, 
3 and 5 are both keyword arguments in the following calls to complex():

complex(real=3, imag=5)
complex(**{'real': 3, 'imag': 5})

End Quote

>From itertools docs "itertools.tee(iterable, n=2) Return n independent

>"itertools.tee(iterable[, n]) Return n independent iterators from a single 
>iterable where n defaults to 2"
