python function *args and **kwargs with other specified keyword arguments

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

Here's a slight tweek to Jure C.'s answer:

def set_axis(self, *args, **kwargs):
    xlabel = kwargs.pop('xlabel', 'x')
    ylabel = kwargs.pop('ylabel', 'y')

I changed get to pop to remove xlabel and ylabel from kwargs if present. I did this because the rest of the code in the original question contains a loop that is meant to iterate through all kwargs except for xlabel and ylabel.
