using python reserved keyword as variable name [duplicate]

Answer 1

Maybe try it like this:

sms_kwargs = {
    'toNum': '0666666666666',
    'messageContent': 'test',
    'messageType': 'normal',
    'user': 'myusername',
    'pass': '123456'
}
response = client.service.SendSMS(**sms_kwargs)

Answer 2

You can pass in arbitrary strings as keyword arguments using the **dictionary call syntax:

response = client.service.SendSMS(  fromNum = '09999999' ,
                toNum = '0666666666666',
                messageContent = 'test',
                messageType = 'normal',
                user = 'myusername',
                **{'pass': '123456'}
           )

You can move all the keyword arguments into a dictionary if you want to, and assign that dictionary to a variable before applying.
