I'm not sure I'm wild about the *args parameter. Calling "Fred" the 0-th parameter here seems non-intuitive:
"My name is {0}".format_using_mapping({}, 'Fred')
If you're going to have *args, why not **kwargs and then merge/update the dicts? I'm being facetious, but I think even having *args is feature creep.
I think it's time to ask about this on python-dev. I'd vote for not using *args. It can always be added in the future if it's seen as a hole in the API. |
