New submission from Geoffrey Bache <gjb1...@users.sourceforge.net>:
Consider the following code:
### keywords.py
def f(**kw):
print arg, kw
f("hello", keyword=True)
and compare the behaviour in Python 2.6 and Python 2.7:
$ python keywords.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "keywords.py", line 5, in <module>
f("hello", keyword=True)
TypeError: f() takes exactly 0 non-keyword arguments (1 given)
$ python2.7 keywords.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "keywords.py", line 5, in <module>
f("hello", keyword=True)
TypeError: f() takes exactly 0 arguments (2 given)
The error message from 2.6 is I would say a more accurate description of the
situation.
