python not accept keyword arguments

Question

I am trying to make my code NOT to accept keyword arguments just like some bulitins also do not accept keyword arguments, but, I am unable to do so. Here, is my thinking acc

You can use arbitrary argument lists to do this. See http://docs.python.org/tutorial/controlflow.html#arbitrary-argument-lists

For example:

def somefunc(*args):
    print args[0], args[1]

Calling without keywords:

somefunc(10,20)

Gives:

10 20

Calling with keywords:

somefunc(a=10,b=20)

Gives an error:

TypeError: someFunc() got an unexpected keyword argument 'a'

It's unclear why you would want to do this though.
