Converting Python dict to kwargs?
Use the double-star (aka double-splat?) operator:
func(**{'type':'Event'})is equivalent to
func(type='Event')
** operator would be helpful here.
** operator will unpack the dict elements and thus **{'type':'Event'} would be treated as type='Event'
func(**{'type':'Event'}) is same as func(type='Event') i.e the dict elements would be converted to the keyword arguments.
FYI
* will unpack the list elements and they would be treated as positional arguments.
func(*['one', 'two']) is same as func('one', 'two')
Here is a complete example showing how to use the ** operator to pass values from a dictionary as keyword arguments.
>>> def f(x=2):... print(x)... >>> new_x = {'x': 4}>>> f() # default value x=22>>> f(x=3) # explicit value x=33>>> f(**new_x) # dictionary value x=4 4
