(Style note: The Python style guide, PEP 8, would have the above code
written as::
def function2(**extra):
# do stuff
def function1(**extra):
function2(extra)
See <URL:http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008> for a sensible style
guide for Python code.)

The syntax for “collect remaining positional arguments into a sequence”
in a function definition versus “unpack the values from this sequence
into positional arguments” in a function call are intentionally
similar::
def bar(spam, eggs, beans):
pass
def foo(*args):
bar(*args)
Likewise for the syntax for “collect remaining keyword arguments into a
mapping” in a function definition versus “unpack the items from this
mapping into keyword arguments” in a function call::
def function2(spam, eggs, beans):
pass
def function1(**kwargs):
function2(**kwargs)
For more detail, see the language reference section explaining calls
<URL:http://docs.python.org/reference/expressions.html#calls>.
