Yury Selivanov added the comment: > * Allow passing arguments as keywoards: str.replace(old='a', new='b')
I think Guido explicitly stated that he doesn't like the idea to always allow keyword arguments for all methods. I.e. `str.find('aaa')` just reads better than `str.find(needle='aaa')`. Essentially, the idea is that for most of the builtins that accept one or two arguments, positional-only parameters are better. > * Enhance Argument Clinic to use also METH_FASTCALL for functions using > positional-only functions So this is the option to go with. ---------- nosy: +yselivanov _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29286> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
