A single '*' could indicate that no additional positional arguments were permitted. def f(*, paramA, paramB=10): print paramA, paramB Here paramA and paramB can only be passed as keywords, and paramA *has* to be passed as it has no default. Utterly magical to anyone not already familiar with the use of *args, though.
