Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

For Python functions, all arguments can be keyword arguments. For many 
builtins, none can be (and maybe there should be a note to that effect at the 
top of the built-in functions chapter). 'Param = default' merely means that the 
parameter has a default argument and it is therefore optional to provide one. 
It says nothing about whether the argument can be identified by the parameter 
name or only by position.
