In order for the "splat" operator to work, the type of the object must populate slot `tp_as_mapping` with a struct of this type: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/typeobj.html#c.PyMappingMethods and
have some non-null implementations of the methods this struct is
supposed to contain.
I can do this in C, but I cannot think of a way to do this in Python
proper.
Looks like it can simply be done in Python, no tp_as_mapping needed. I
tried it like Alan Bawden suggested (sibling post of yours):
import random # just as an example
import time # just as an example
from collections.abc import Mapping
class VirtualKwargs(Mapping):
def __init__(self):
self.fncs = {
# Simple examples of functions with varying return values to be
# called for each lookup, instead of fixed values.
'time': time.time,
'random': random.random,
}
def __len__(self):
return len(self.fncs)
def __iter__(self):
return iter(self.fncs)
def __getitem__(self, key):
return self.fncs[key]()
def func(**kwargs):
for k, v in kwargs.items():
print(f'{k}: {v}')
obj = VirtualKwargs()
func(**obj)
Output (obviously changes every run):
time: 1707497521.175763
random: 0.6765831287385126
