Yeah I get what you are saying, although in my opinion having to write each argument name 3 times in the __init__ makes code harder to read and obfuscated the code more than this would. Also, there are times when too-many-argument functions are necessary, and several examples of these can be found in the stdlib.

I was thinking that excluding them might be more confusing though, and even not explicitly named when passed, they are probably set to an arribute with the same name as the arg like most other args. Either way, these minor details can be worried about if this becomes popular. I can't see this being used if it is implemented outside of stdlib, because the warning from linter would drive people mad. I suppose it needs to either be added to stdlib or forgotten about. _______________________________________________ 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/3LEYVR6EL52EHUVIPULHBIKLKWBYDX3E/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
