Ezio Melotti added the comment: That would be backward incompatible, and there might be some valid (corner) cases to pass it as a keyword. Since people are usually not supposed to use it as a keyword arg, it doesn't matter much if the name is different if that makes the docs more understandable. If someone tries to do int(number=10) and gets an error it would likely switch to the simpler int(10). If he really needs keyword args he can always check the code.
That said, I don't have a strong opinion about this, so if people think that x should be used, it's fine with me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14783> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
