bpo-36492: Deprecate passing some arguments as keyword arguments. by serhiy-storchaka · Pull Request #12637 · python/cpython

@serhiy-storchaka 

Deprecated passing the following arguments as keyword arguments:

- "func" in functools.partialmethod(), weakref.finalize(),
  profile.Profile.runcall(), cProfile.Profile.runcall(),
  bdb.Bdb.runcall(), trace.Trace.runfunc() and
  curses.wrapper().
- "function" in unittest.addModuleCleanup() and
  unittest.TestCase.addCleanup().
- "fn" in the submit() method of concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor
  and concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.
- "callback" in contextlib.ExitStack.callback(),
  contextlib.AsyncExitStack.callback() and
  contextlib.AsyncExitStack.push_async_callback().
- "c" and "typeid" in the create() method of multiprocessing.managers.Server
  and multiprocessing.managers.SharedMemoryServer.
- "obj" in weakref.finalize().

Also allowed to pass arbitrary keyword arguments (even "self" and "func")
if the above arguments are passed as positional argument.

The following arguments can be passed as keyword arguments for passing
to other function if the corresponding required argument is passed as
positional:

- "func" in functools.partialmethod(), weakref.finalize(),
  profile.Profile.runcall(), cProfile.Profile.runcall(),
  bdb.Bdb.runcall(), trace.Trace.runfunc() and
  curses.wrapper().
- "function" in unittest.addModuleCleanup() and
  unittest.TestCase.addCleanup().
- "fn" in the submit() method of concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor
  and concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor.
- "callback" in contextlib.ExitStack.callback(),
  contextlib.AsyncExitStack.callback() and
  contextlib.AsyncExitStack.push_async_callback().
- "c" and "typeid" in the create() method of multiprocessing.managers.Server
  and multiprocessing.managers.SharedMemoryServer.
- "obj" in weakref.finalize().

(cherry picked from commit 42a139e)
