And I am getting:

SyntaxError: keyword can\'t be

Answer 1

I think http-equiv is being parsed as http minus equiv. You should try http_equiv, or possibly use a special argument depending on the API.

Answer 2

As @Misandrist already pointed out, http-equiv is interpreted as a subtraction like this: http - equiv.

If you still need to pass the data to this function, you can do the following thing:

dct = {
       'http-equiv': 'Content-Type',
       'content': 'text/html;charset=UTF-8'
}
hd.meta(**dct)

Put the keyword arguments into a dictionary and pass its expansion (**dct).
