Hello, things like list(sequence = something) ought to work in Python 3.6 back to the oldest Python2 I know. However, in 3.7 this raises an exception about not accepting keyword arguments. I noticed the same for tuple, int, float(x=9.0), and probably a lot others. It is not described in the release notes either. I think it's a bug and might affect existing code. Or is this how thing will be from now on? Yours, Kay

Hello,

things like list(sequence = something) ought to work in Python 3.6 back to the oldest Python2 I know.

However, in 3.7 this raises an exception about not accepting keyword arguments.

I noticed the same for tuple, int, float(x=9.0), and probably a lot others. It is not described in the release notes either.

I think it's a bug and might affect existing code. Or is this how thing will be from now on?

Yours,
Kay
