x[kw=:] x[kw=a:] x[kw=-a:] x[kw=a:b] x[kw=-a:b] x[kw=a:-b] x[kw=-a:-b] x[kw=:b] x[kw=:-b] I don't see what's confusing. All that's needed is for the slice syntax ['colon operator', if you like] to have higher precedence than the keyword syntax, as it already has higher precedence than the comma. As I said originally, I'm +0 on the whole feature but I think weird restrictions like "slice syntax only works for positional arguments" or "can't have both positional and keyword args" will be surprising to most people. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/A3AN3QTM6BKX4ZME7RL3ITGCOFV2XVUH/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
