<p>Python 3 introduced a useful feature: keyword-only arguments. In order to get the same effect in Python 2, you must use **kwargs in your parameter list. Then, at the beginning of your function body you must manually extract what would be the keyword-only arguments once you upgrade to 3.</p>
<p>This recipe helps reduce the boilerplate to a single function call. You still don't get those parameters in your "def" clause (where they are more obvious), but at least it reduces the clutter.</p>

Revision 4.
</p>
<p>Provides a very simple decorator (~40 lines of code) that can turn some or all of your default arguments into keyword-only arguments. You select one of your default arguments by name and the decorator turn this argument along with all default arguments on its right side into keyword only arguments. Check the docstring of the decorator or visit the github/pypi page for detailed documentation:</p>
