Lack of **kwargs in run_in_executor

[Aaron DeVore]

I noticed that run_in_executor has an *args, but no **kwargs. Examination of the source code doesn't give any clues on why. Am I missing something or is asyncio missing something?

Read the PEP.

I noticed that asyncio is compliant with PEP 3156, but the PEP doesn't say anything about a lack of **kwargs either. PEP 3156 itself seems to be inconsistent with PEP 3148's submit(), which takes a **kwargs.

It does: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3156/#callback-style

Trust me. It is a conscious choice.

Ah, I didn't see that part. I was searching the PEP for kwargs.

I thought it was probably a conscious choice. Just thought I should check. Sorry for the bother.
