Hi list!
I'm using pygmalion (magnolia api access lib) and want to
use the following method that it is offering:
magnolia.bookma rks_find(person ='user', from=some_datet ime)
As you may noticed, from is a keyword argument and so I
get the following error message from python:
File "<ipython console>", line 1
magnolia.bookma rks_find(person ='user', from=some_datet ime)
^
<type 'exceptions.Syn taxError'>: invalid syntax
I have tried to prepare a dict and then passing it to the
method afterwards:
>>d = {'person': 'user', 'from': vorgestern}
magnolia.book marks_find(d)
<type 'exceptions.Typ eError'>: bookmarks_find( ) takes exactly 1
argument (2 given)
I'm out of ideas so help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Try
magnolia.bookma rks_find(**d)

Try this:
magnolia.bookma rks_find(**d)
although I suspect that will probably raise an exception as well. Judging
by the error message, it looks like bookmarks_find( ) takes only a single
argument, which I imagine would be the "self" instance automatically
provided at runtime.

Could be bookmarks_find( person, **other), unpacking other manually. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I've got a function that takes a couple of optional keyword arguments.
I want to check to make sure I didn't get passed an argument I didn't
expect. Right now I'm doing:
conversion = None

for key, value in kwArgs.items():
if key == 'conversion':
conversion = value

In the tutorial on functions there are sections on default arguments and
keyword arguments, yet I don't see the syntactic difference between them.
For default arguments the tutorial shows:
def ask_ok(prompt, retries=4, complaint='Yes or no, please!'):
while for keyword arguments the tutorial shows:
def parrot(voltage, state='a stiff', action='voom', type='Norwegian Blue'):

Although I realize the perils of even suggesting polluting the Python
namespace with a new keyword, I often think that it would be useful to
consider defining an operator for testing whether or not an item is a
member of a category.
Currently, we have the 'in' operator, which tests for membership within
a container, and that works very well -- in particular, it allows such
membership tests to be expressed in very natural way. So for...

With the "as if" rule in play, doesn't that effectively render the
"register" keyword completely useless?
Example: I make a silly compiler which creates code that goes out of
its way to take a full 10 minutes every time a "register" declared
variable is read from or written to. Besides this lag, everything else
runs as expected. Then my compiler is still C compliant, aye?
If so, then it is unwise for any programmer to ever use the...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
