Python- positional argument follows keyword argument
I have a function that accepts the variable length of arguments as described below. I am passing the kwargs as a dictionary. However, I don't understand why I am getting the error Python- positional argument follows keyword argument
.
class PanSearch(object): otp_wait = 30 def __init__(self, surname, dob, mobile_no, otp_host, **kwargs): kwargs.setdefault('browser', 'chromium') self.surname = surname self.dob = dob self.mobile_no = mobile_no self.otp_host = otp_host self.middle_name = kwargs.get('middle_name', None) self.first_name = kwargs.get('first_name', None) self.status = kwargs.get('status') self.gender = 'M' if kwargs.get('status') == 'P' else None object otp_host = 'abc.xyz.in' input_kwargs = {'status': 'P', 'gender': 'M', 'browser': 'chromium'} driver = PanSearch(surname='kulkarni', dob='13/10/1981', mobile_no='9769172006', otp_host, **input_kwargs) File "pan_no.py", line 87 driver = PanSearch(surname='kulkarni', dob='13/10/1981', mobile_no='9769172006', otp_host, **input_kwargs) ^ SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument
If you want that your Python code should follow keyword argument then you need to change some lines with the below-mentioned code:-
Note : This error is a syntax error which means that we have failed to follow one of the rules that governs how to write a Python code
To
driver = PanSearch('kulkarni', '13/10/1981', '9769172006', otp_host, **input_kwargs)driver = PanSearch('kulkarni', '13/10/1981', '9769172006', otp_host, **input_kwargs)
