I'm working on adding a numeric_owner parameter to some tarfile methods (http://bugs.python.org/issue23193), In a review, Berker suggested making the parameter keyword-only. I agree that you'd likely never want to pass just True, but that numeric_owner=True would be a better usage. But, I don't

I personally find that keyword only arguments make for nicer APIS. It also makes subclassing easier because you are free to add new positional arguments later. Especially for boolean arguments, I think keyword only is a great API choice. On Tue, Apr 14, 2015 at 2:06 PM, Steven D'Aprano

If you’re introducing a new parameter that is a boolean, making it kw-only is generally accepted. Some people (myself included) would encourage you to do so. Besides asyncio, there are already new arguments that are kw-only in many modules, including configparser, unittest, xml.etree, xmlrpc,
