New submission from David Kerkeslager <david.kerkesla...@gmail.com>:
This problem arose in this thread: http://www.python-forum.org/pythonforum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11606 Basically, we have the following function which will generate an XHTML node: def xhtmlNode(tag, **attr):... If we call: xhtmlNode('div',class='sidebar') ... it should generate the xhtml: <div class='sidebar'></div> However, this isn't possible because the 'class' keyword in Python blocks it. Since this is a key in a dictionary (attr['class']) this shouldn't be a problem. As far as I know, there is no parsing issue with this either. Could we allow Python keywords to be keyword arguments? The use case above shows that this is useful in a real-life situation. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 82837 nosy: Imagist severity: normal status: open title: Allow Python keywords as keyword arguments for functions. type: feature request versions: Python 3.0, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5382> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
