R. David Murray added the comment: > I don't think we should do it without deprecation, since it could break working code. But it certainly sounds like a marginal case: I doubt there is much code that uses the existing keyword names. I'm not sure that it's worth it to add a deprecation warning in Python 3.7. It's trivial to fix code passing an argument by keyword rather than by position.

I'm not sure that it's worth it to add a deprecation warning in Python
3.7. It's trivial to fix code passing an argument by keyword rather
