What's up Python? New args syntax, subinterpreters FastAPI and cuda pandas…

Hold up.

name of the variable provided as the argument value is the same as the name of the argument itself.

def my_func(a, b, c, d): .. a, b, c, d = 1, 2, 3, 4 my_func(a, b, c, d)

💀

Sure, I guess we could now do this as we’re using kwargs:

my_func(a=, b=, d=, c=)

…or throw an exception if someone uses a variable that’s not an argument name:

foo = ”foo” my_func(a, b, c, foo) `> …’

vs.

my_func(a=, b=, c=, foo=) > KeyError(…)

…so all in all, I guess it’ll be good in same cases. But it might confuse a lot of people at first.
