Why would we want to even consider a new approach to handling keyword arguments which applies only to three dunder methods, `__getitem__`, `__setitem__` and `__delitem__`, instead of handling keyword arguments in the same way that every other method handles them?
These methods are already kind of screwy in that they don't handle *positional* arguments in the usual way -- packing them into a tuple instead of passing them as individual arguments. I think this is messing up everyone's intuition on how indexing should be extended to incorporate keyword args, or even whether this should be done at all. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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/PEVIK7GCIFSDK622FTLDS2FXOS323EYG/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
