How about allowing '|' to be used again after '$'? Keyword arguments would be optional by default, but if there is a '|' after the '$', then those before it are required. Examples: "O|O$O|O" -- one required keyword arg and one optional one. "O|O$OO" -- both keyword args are optional. "O|O$|OO" -- both keyword args are optional. "O|O$OO|" -- both keyword args are required. Pros: 1. Backwards-compatible with current notation. 2. No additional characters used as sigils. 3. Similar meaning as existing use of '|' to separate required and optional args. 4. Same order as for Python function. Cons: 1. Need to scan to the end of the format string to figure out whether keyword args are optional or required. ---------- nosy: +taleinat _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34235> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
