You can already use keyword args with any Python method: Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 >>> class Foo: ... def bar(self, x, y): ... print x + y ... >>> f = Foo() >>> f.bar(x=2, y=40) 42 >>> If you're not using keyword args in Webware because you think some args are poorly named, let us know. Or if you think some defaults are missing, you can report that as well. Or maybe what you're saying is that you'd like to see them used more in docs and examples. Certainly as the number of args gets larger, the keyword approach gets more useful. -Chuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
