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

Answer 1

There isn't such a strong distinction in Python between keyword and positional arguments. In fact, it is as simple as:

Positional arguments are parsed in the order they are listed in the function call Keyword arguments can be added in any order, but cannot come before positional arguments.

So, if you have this:

def foo(x):
    pass

You can do:

foo(1) # positional
foo(x=1) # keyword

But you cannot do foo() because you didn't supply a default value.

Similarly, if you have this:

def foo(x,y='hello'):
    pass

foo(1) # this works fine
foo() # this is invalid, as an argument without a default isn't passed
foo(y='hello',1) # error - positional arguments come before keyword arguments

Don't forget to read up on arbitrary argument lists.
