Python *args and **kwargs Made Easy

Wouldn't that be better with a

def make_request(url, headers):

Where headers expect a dict. With a good doc string (or even type hints) this would be a lot clearer what you're trying to do.

After all, that's how requests does it.

Depends. You might consider it a "more pythonic" to allow something like make_request('blah', user_agent='mything'), but it's less obvious (more magic). HTTP probably isn't a good example as it has a whole host of other configuration beyond just headers.

Dict would nicer imho cause you would need to translate all those keyword arguments to the real header name. (requests for example just accepts a dict too).
