Is there a way to avoid keywords in kwargs
I have the following instance function
class MyClass:
def __init__(self):
self.request = dict()
def my_func(self, **kwargs):
self.request['arguments'] = kwargs
And I want to use it like below:
obj = MyClass() obj.my_func(global = True)
As you can see, I want to use the Python keyword as a key value in kwargs
. I know this is a syntax error. I wonder if there is a way to avoid this so that it can be created kwargs
with a value {'global':True}
.
I couldn't find anything like this in the official docs. I was expecting a way to avoid them since the keys kwargs
are of type string
.
The only way to use Python keywords as keyword names is to unpack the dictionary:
instance.my_func(**{'global': True})
Alternatively, rename the argument (for example global_
).
