Why can't pass *args and **kwargs in __init__ of a child class

Question

To understand *args and **kwargs I made some searchs about, when I fell on this question *args and **kwargs?

The answer below the chosen answer caught my attention,

Answer 1

The reason is all the arguments are already unpacked into kwargs and it is a dict now. and you are trying to pass it to a normal variables.

def bun(args,kwargs):
print 'i am here'
print kwargs

def fun(*args,**kwargs):
print kwargs
bun(*args,**kwargs)

 fun(hill=3,bi=9) # will fail.


def bun(*args,**kwargs):
print 'i am here'
print kwargs

def fun(*args,**kwargs):
print kwargs
bun(*args,**kwargs) # will work.



fun(hill=3,bi=9)

Try making the modification at

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self, *value1, **value2):
# do something with the values
        print 'I think something is being called here'
        print value1, value2


class MyFoo(Foo):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
# do something else, don't care about the args
        print args, kwargs
        super(MyFoo, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)


foo = MyFoo('Python', 2.7, stack='overflow'

should work..!
