While looking at a parser module issue (http://bugs.python.org/issue9154) I noticed that Python's grammar doesn't permit trailing commas after keyword-only args. That is,def f(a, b,): pass is valid syntax, while def f(*, a, b,): pass is not. I was just curious whether the latter was deliberate or an oversight. And if an oversight, is it worth fixing after the moratorium expires? (See also http://bugs.python.org/issue2009.)
I use trailing commas all the time in argument lists. I don't use keyword-only args much, but I will when I switch to 3.x. I'd like to see this fixed. I'd argue it's a bug fix, but that's me.
