Is it in Python possible to set the last parameter of several in a function call if all have a default value?
Example: in the ftplib.FTP the module defines this:
ftplib.FTP([host[, user[, passwd[, acct[, timeout]]]]])
All these parameters have a default value, so you don´t need to set them all, you could, for example, just call ftp = ftplib.FTP() to get a FTP object. But what if I would like to set only the timeout parameter? How would I achieve this?
Yes, by using named arguments you can specify the value with a name-value pair.
