I meant it to do the same thing as make_person(name=name, age=age, phone=phone, location=location) I come across use cases for this fairly frequently, usually when I have an __init__ method that supplies default values for a bunch of arguments, and then wants to pass them on to an inherited __init__ with the same names. It feels very wanky having to write out all those foo=foo expressions. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
