When developing in Python, it’s common to come across **kwargs. What is the double asterisk (**) in Python? If a function parameter explictly denotes the double asterisk: 1def foo(**kwargs): 2 print(kwargs) 3 4foo(bar="test", baz=5)kwargs will represent a dictionary of the key word arguments given to the function. NOTE: kwargs is a standard name that refers to “key word arguments”; however, any name may be used. Output: 1{'bar': 'test', 'baz': 5}
