And having keywords in the square brackets pass keyword args to the dunder could,m in fact break this use case, whereas passing a new keyword_index object would not. But as I said in an earlier note -- having ezra keyword parameters on __getitem__ is an abuse of the system anyway, so I think it's OK to break that. -CHB > _______________________________________________ > 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/XYYOGRZ673D4S7YLGGZBMB6QJ4CXNC3U/ > Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ > -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
