Hi all,
I ran into the follow behavior while making sure Django works
correctly on PyPy. The following behavior was observed in all tested
versions of CPython (2.5, 3.1):
>>> def f(**kwargs):
... print(kwargs)
...
>>> kwargs = {1: 3}
>>>
>>> dict({}, **kwargs)
{1: 3}
>>> f(**kwargs)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: f() keywords must be strings
>>>
This behavior seems pretty strange to me, indeed PyPy gives the
TypeError for both attempts. I just wanted to confirm that it was in
fact intentional.
Thanks,
Alex
