There's some discussion on python-ideas about making it possible for python indexing to accept kwargs, eg
arr[1:2, foo=bar] Since numpy is a very heavy user of indexing which might benefit from this, I thought I should forward it here. If we have clear use cases for such a feature then that may strongly affect the discussion. I admit I can't actually think of any features this would enable for us though... -n ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Stefano Borini" <stefano.bor...@ferrara.linux.it> Date: 2 Jul 2014 00:17 Subject: [Python-ideas] PEP pre-draft: Support for indexing with keyword arguments To: "python-id...@python.org" <python-id...@python.org>, "Joseph Martinot-Lagarde" <joseph.martinot-laga...@m4x.org> Cc: Dear all, after the first mailing list feedback, and further private discussion with Joseph Martinot-Lagarde, I drafted a first iteration of a PEP for keyword arguments in indexing. The document is available here. https://github.com/stefanoborini/pep-keyword/blob/master/PEP-XXX.txt The document is not in final form when it comes to specifications. In fact, it requires additional discussion about the best strategy to achieve the desired result. Particular attention has been devoted to present alternative implementation strategies, their pros and cons. I will examine all feedback tomorrow morning European time (in approx 10 hrs), and apply any pull requests or comments you may have. When the specification is finalized, or this community suggests that the PEP is in a form suitable for official submission despite potential open issues, I will submit it to the editor panel for further discussion, and deploy an actual implementation according to the agreed specification for a working test run. I apologize for potential mistakes in the PEP drafting and submission process, as this is my first PEP.
