问题
I came across this - in my view - strange behaviour:
"a b c".split(maxsplit=1)
TypeError: split() takes no keyword arguments
Why does str.split() not take keyword arguments, even though it would make sense? I found this behavior both in Python2 and Python3.
回答1:
See this bug and its superseder.
str.split() is a native function in CPython, and as such exhibits the behavior described here:
CPython implementation detail: An implementation may provide built-in functions whose positional parameters do not have names, even if they are ‘named’ for the purpose of documentation, and which therefore cannot be supplied by keyword. In CPython, this is the case for functions implemented in C that use
PyArg_ParseTuple()to parse their arguments.
回答2:
str.split is a builtin method implemented in C. Unfortunately some builtin functions/methods do not accept keyword arguments. See this bug report.
