[issue2646] Python does not accept unicode keywords
New submission from John (J5) Palmieri [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
# given this function
def a(**kwargs):
pass
# this works
a(**{'b':'c'})
# this throws a format error
a(**{u'b':'c'})
I am using a web framework (TurboGears w/ genshi templating) which often
pass around dictionaries as keyword arguments in order to have 1 to 1
representation of json data and URL parameters. This is usually fine
except when using libraries such as simplejson which encodes all of the
keywords as unicode.
Attached is a patch which is most likely just the tip of the iceberg but
hopefully it turns out to be this easy.

[issue2646] Python does not accept unicode keywords
Alexander Belopolsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:
I would say this is a good idea for 2.6.
Note that C functions are more forgiving:
from datetime import *
date(1,2,**{u'day':10})
datetime.date(1, 2, 10)
dict(**{u'x':1,2:3,():5})
{u'x': 1, 2: 3, (): 5}
but
date(1,2,**{u'day':10,u'x':20})
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: keywords must be strings
I would not advocate making ** completely promiscuous (as in dict(..)
above), but permitting unicode strings will allow for easier 3.0
transitions.
I'll submit a patch.
