Im not sure if I understand you fully, but if what you are after is
how to
pass named parameters analog to positional args, do it as dict:
def foo(name=None):
print name
foo(**{name: Fuzzy})
Brilliant - that's exactly what I was looking for thanks.

functions and named keyword arguments
Sorry if this is a duplicate - I use the google interface and sometiems

A colleague and I have built a Validator object for use with ConfigObj
and other general schema situations. A config file is used to store a
schema that specifies how to test a value that it is valid.
keyword=function(param1, param2)
e.g. you could specify :
size = range(30, 50)
This means that the keyword 'size' must be an integer between 30 and
50. There is a matching function stored in a dictionary that is called
and the relavant arguments passed to it.
The function name and parameters are parsed from the config file that
defines the schema.
args, fname = parsefunction('range(30,50)')
test = funcdict[fname](*args)
What I can't easily see is any way of passing named keyword arguments
to the function. Suppose we wanted to pass keyword=param to a function
- is there any way of doing this ... obviously passing in
'keyword=param' as text has entirely the wrong result..
Anyone got any clues ? I suspect compiling the function into a code
object will help but this is a slightly black art for me.
