I have a function that I use to retrieve daily data from a

After using it (and its friends) for a few years, I've come to
realize that there are times where it would be advantageous to
invoke it with a datetime.date as its single argument.

You could just use all keyword args:

def TempsOneDay(**kwargs):

        if 'date' in kwargs:
                handle_datetime(kwargs['date'])
        elif 'year' in kwargs and 'month' in kwargs and 'day' in kwargs:
                handle_args(kwargs['year'], kwargs['month'], kwargs['day'])
        else:
                raise Exception("Bad keyword args")

TempsOneDay(date=datetime.datetime.now)

TempsOneDay(year=2022, month=11, day=30)
