 How can i manage this?


Look at keyword arguments:

BTW, don't you think that the signature attached by your organization is
rather
unsuitable for this list. For example, do I need an explicit disclaimer
from you
that you are not sharing company confidential information, if you post
a solution?

One way you can do that is by using default arguments.

def my_func (arg1=False, arg2=False, arg3=False):
# Check the arguments.
