Question

I have a Python class with a method which should accept arguments and keyword arguments this way

class plot:
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        self.x = x
            


        

Answer 1

In Python 3 this works:

Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:53:16) 
>>> def set_axis(self, *args, xlabel="x", ylabel="y", **kwargs):
...     print(args, xlabel, ylabel, kwargs)
... 
>>> set_axis(None, "test1", "test2", xlabel="new_x", my_kwarg="test3")
('test1', 'test2') new_x y {'my_kwarg': 'test3'}
>>>
