What's the difference between arguments with default values and keyword-arguments?
- by o_O Tync
In Python, what's the difference between arguments having default values:
def f(a,b,c=1,d=2): pass
and keyword arguments:
def f(a=1,b=2,c=3): pass
? I guess there's no difference, but the tutorial has two sections:
4.7.1. Default Argument Values
4.7.2. Keyword Arguments
which sounds like there are some difference in them. If so, why can't I use this syntax in 2.6:
def pyobj_path(*objs, as_list=False): pass
?
