Raymond Hettinger added the comment: In general there should be an early out test for keywords==NULL before calling the comparatively high overhead function _PyArg_NoKeywords.
That function adds overhead everywhere it is used and provides zero benefit to correct programs in order to provide earlier detection of a very rare class of errors. Some care needs to be taken before slapping _PyArg_NoKeywords onto every function in the core that doesn't use keyword arguments. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26822> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
