I agree that this feature is advantageous and I'm +1 to apply it to new classes/functions, but for existing classes/functions, does it seem strange that only certain arguments are keyword only (i.e., some arguments can be specified by position, while others can't)?

Hi all. Since we'll be dropping Python2.7 soon, we can now use keyword-only arguments. I would argue that whenever we add any argument anywhere, we should make it keyword-only from now on, with the exception of X and y (probably). What do others think? Are there other features in Python3 that we should consider adopting for 0.21? The reason for making arguments keyword-only is that a) users are force to write more readable code b) deprecations and api changes have less side-effects Cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ scikit-learn mailing list scikit-learn@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/scikit-learn
