Hi ! If I define 'f' like this
def f(a): print a then, the call with keywords f(1, optional=2) fails. I have to change 'f' to def f(a, **kwrds): print a to ignore optional parameters. BUT.. Q: Can you call 'f' with keywords that will be ignored, without changing 'f's definition ? I would like to avoid code like this: k = {} k['optional'] = 2 try: f(1, **k) except TypeError: f(1) Also, the problem is that I don't know if the TypeError was caused by calling 'f' with keywords or somewhere "inside" f. You can also say that I need to specify optional parameters on caller side (not called side). BranoZ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
