hi,
sorry for being to cryptic.
In [1]: def foo(*args,**kwargs):
...: print vars
...:
...:
In [2]: foo()
<built-in function vars>
In [3]: def bar(*args,**vars):
...: print vars
...:
...:
In [4]: bar()
{}
ref: http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#vars
as I said, it is cosmetic. I believe it is a bad idea to give variable
a name which matches name of the build-in function
cheers,
pawel
