Now I'm confused: what's the advantage of
def func(seconds = None, minutes = None, hours = None):
print seconds
print minutes
print hours
func(**{"minutes": 30})
over
def func(seconds = None, minutes = None, hours = None):
print seconds
print minutes
print hours
func(minutes = 30)
? Or am I missing the point that a better example of what
Mr. Wu really wants is
def func(seconds = None, minutes = None, hours = None):
print seconds
print minutes
print hours
dimension = "minutes"
func(**{dimension: 30})
?
