Question

I want to build a query for sunburnt solr interface  using class inheritance and therefore adding key - value pairs together  The sunburnt interface takes keyword arguments  How can I transform a dict    type   Event    into keyword arguments  type  Event

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
