title: args and kwargs in django views
body: <p>Okay, I've tried searching for this for quite some time. Can I not pass args and kwargs to a view in a django app? Do I necessarily have to define each keyword argument independently?</p>
  
  <p>For example,</p>
  
  <pre><code>#views.py
  def someview(request, *args, **kwargs):
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And while calling the view,</p>
  
  <pre><code>response = someview(request,locals())
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't seem to be able to do that. 
  Instead, I have to do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#views.py
  def someview(request, somekey = None):
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any reasons why?</p>
