Alexander Belopolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
I would say this is a good idea for 2.6.
Note that C functions are more forgiving:
>>> from datetime import *
>>> date(1,2,**{u'day':10})
datetime.date(1, 2, 10)
>>> dict(**{u'x':1,2:3,():5})
{u'x': 1, 2: 3, (): 5}
but
>>> date(1,2,**{u'day':10,u'x':20})
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: keywords must be strings
I would not advocate making ** completely promiscuous (as in dict(..)
above), but permitting unicode strings will allow for easier 3.0
transitions.
I'll submit a patch.
