Passing the keywords down individually also incurs some overhead, plus we are talking about fairly small dicts. Its unlikely to be of a performance concern IMHO As Travis noted, Python *always* makes a shallow copy of **kwds when passing it down; This dictionary copy is unavoidable if you use **. Another small difference between arg=optional and **kwds is that the latter is keyword only, whereas the former can also be a default value for a positional argument. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
