Need to backport Py3.0's functionality so that the following is valid
syntax:

   def f(a, *args, v=None):
       . . .

Why have you assigned the bug to me? I ain't no grammar expert.

I mistakenly thought you had done this for Py3.0.

You're welcome, pal! :) I've created a backport of the kw only functions
for 2.6 but that doesn't make me an expert on grammar.

Can this be closed as either fixed or out-or-date, as the case may be?

It should still be done if any one has the time.
Guido approved it long ago.

Ok, I though 2.7 was in feature freeze.
Updating version.

Besides someone having to produce the patch, it would also need the release manager's approval (Benjamin).

Wouldn't this imply a full backport of keyword only arguments? That seems unlikely at the moment.

Now it's too late for this. Closing as out of date.
