It means that the arguments are positional-only, the names "x", "y" and "z" are for documentation purposes only.

Up until recently, the documentation didn't distinguish between function parameters which can take optional keywords and those that can't. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
