Why use **kwargs in python? What are some real world advantages over using named arguments?

Question

I come from a background in static languages. Can someone explain (ideally through example) the real world advantages of using **kwargs over named arguments

Answer 1

And here's another typical example:

MESSAGE = "Lo and behold! A message {message!r} came from {object_} with data {data!r}."

def proclaim(object_, message, data):
    print(MESSAGE.format(**locals()))
