by "kwargs" the usual approach is to have optional arguments ("keyword arguments") that aren't just kwargs, but are named optional arguments:
def func(args, flag=False, flag2=True) def func(args, flag=False, flag2=True) def func(*args, **kwargs)
And yes it's not the most common approach, but I have seen it enough times to despise it. This overloading approach removes the need for it so I'm all for that.
Ish, see if your IDE supports it (hint: it won't, but it will support named kwargs).
