A bare * in a parameter list behaves differently depending on what follows it: Py30a4: >>> def f(, a=1, b=2): return 1 >>> def g(, *kwargs): return 1 SyntaxError: named arguments must follow bare (<pyshell#10>, line 1) I don't know if this is a bug or not but thought it worth querying. This case does not seem to be mentioned in PEP 3102.

A bare * in a parameter list behaves differently depending on what
follows it:

Py30a4:

>>> def f(*, a=1, b=2): return 1

>>> def g(*, **kwargs): return 1
SyntaxError: named arguments must follow bare * (<pyshell#10>, line 1)

I don't know if this is a bug or not but thought it worth querying. This
case does not seem to be mentioned in PEP 3102.
