You have a fair point @DominikVilsmeier though I still believe this can workout there are other alternatives up for discussion such as using the `=` character. You see: after a keyword parameter you cannot define other positional ones, so the new syntax can assume all parameters following a first keyword parameter are to be captured if not explicitly declared.
So we can have a syntax in which these three statements are the same: ```python foo(a, b=b, c=c) foo(a, b=b, c) foo(a, =, b, c) ``` But in this option I find `foo(a, b=b, c)` obscure that `c` will be captured as keyword argument. For now I still believe we can live with the `*` being slightly asymmetric. For the record, the positional-only specifier `/` already has no other real meaning other than delimiting different types of arguments. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/4LY2OLXQAO5B2LDCDVNCVRXA6ZW7VTVT/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
