Unfortunately is seem to be not well documented. Anyway, here is an example of what I would like to do: #begin def foo(**kwargs): print kwargs foo(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3) #end In the current implementation kwargs is a dict, but I need to have the keyword argument sorted. Unfortunately subclassing fron dict and installing the class in the __builtin__ module (with the name 'dict') does not work, CPython uses only builtin types. With the compiler module I can obtain the keyword arguments in the order the were specified. The problem is how to do this for every call to foo!
