Sure. The question is, do we have to support uses where people intentionally smuggle non-identifier strings as keys via **kwargs?

The discussion on Python-Ideas is (partly) about making this a language feature. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
