I think his solution would have been to use: def foo(**args): everywhere, and call it like this foo(bar=baz) Of course that makes calls pretty verbose, but it would prevent having to visit every function/method every time the signature changes. As long they'd all been set up initially to use keyword args like that. And of course one would lose some of the compile-time benefits of compiler signature checking. It's not optimal, but I think it'd get the job done. -- Robert Uhl <http://public.xdi.org/=ruhl> So how *do* you determine the gender of bread?
