This is a bit of a hack... It's there so that "args" is not accepted as a keyword argument.
Because \u00F8 is not a valid identifier in Python there is no possibility that the user can provide this as a keyword argument. We ran into some bug I believe back in the IronPython 1.1 time frame where someone was trying to provide args as a keyword arg and this was a quick and easy fix. A better fix would probably to add some [NoKeywordArgBinding] attribute to the parameter and then update the overload resolver so that we don't allow binding of keyword args for that parameter. And I suspect that will become necessary for Python 3.x support where I think you can have Unicode identifiers (even though this exact identifier is unlikely to be used :) ). > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeff Hardy [mailto:jdha...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 8:28 AM > To: Pawel Jasinski; Dino Viehland > Cc: ironpython-users@python.org > Subject: Re: [Ironpython-users] utf in source \u00F8 > > Very weird.
