I'm not sure I follow here. AFAICS, you can't define keyword parameters. You can give default values to parameters but this is orthogonal to calling a function with keywords. If we somehow want to seperate parameters in those that can be used with a keyword and those that don't it has to be something different than providing a default value to that parameter. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
