R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: That is not kwargs, that's a passing a dict. Which is what you would want, since the strings you want to replace might not be valid identifiers, and so couldn't be passed as keyword arguments.
I think I'm -0.5 on this. I don't think complicating the api is worth the benefit, given that you can already chain replace calls. (And note that before dicts became ordered by language definition this would have been a non-starter, which is probably also a mark against it.) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray title: Make string.replace accept **kwargs instead of two arguments -> Make string.replace accept a dict instead of two arguments _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33647> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
