[issue31472] "Emulating callable objects" documentation misleading

[Andrei Kulakov]

Andrei Kulakov  added the comment:

I don't think the docs in current form imply keyword args are disallowed: 
"arguments" covers both positional and keyword args, and the call as given in 
example would work for both positional and keyword args (though not overriding 
the default value of an arg). It seems to me this can be closed.

[issue31472] "Emulating callable objects" documentation misleading

[Nathan Marrow]

New submission from Nathan Marrow:

The documentation for emulating callable objects with __call__ seems to imply 
only positional arguments are supported. For instance, it says __call__ is 
"object.__call__(self[, args…])" and describes:

Called when the instance is “called” as a function; if this method is defined, 
x(arg1, arg2, ...) is a shorthand for x.__call__(arg1, arg2, ...).

When it should be something like (Not sure exactly what the syntax would be 
here):
"object.__call__(self[, args…] [,**kwargs...])"

Called when the instance is “called” as a function; if this method is defined, 
x(arg1, arg2, ..., arg3=arg3) is a shorthand for x.__call__(arg1, arg2, ..., 
arg3=arg3).
