Say I have the following methods:
def methodA(arg, **kwargs): pass def methodB(arg, *args, **kwargs): pass In methodA I wish to call methodB, passing on the kwargs. However, it seems that if I define methodA as follows, the second argument will be passed on as positional rather than named variable arguments.
def methodA(arg, **kwargs): methodB('argvalue', kwargs) How do I make sure that the **kwargs in methodA gets passed as **kwargs to methodB?
Put the asterisks before the kwargs variable. This makes Python pass the variable (which is assumed to be a dictionary) as keyword arguments.
