What is the purpose and use of **kwargs?

Question

What are the uses for **kwargs in Python?

I know you can do an objects.filter on a table and pass in a **kwargs argument. &nbs

Answer 1

As an addition, you can also mix different ways of usage when calling kwargs functions:

def test(**kwargs):
    print kwargs['a']
    print kwargs['b']
    print kwargs['c']


args = { 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

test( a=1, **args )

gives this output:

1
2
3

Note that **kwargs has to be the last argument
