title: Can I Skip Parameters in Python When Using Kwargs
body: <p>I have a function that takes in kwargs. I want to use the kwargs parameters by name without having to declare each explicitly as either a parameter or variable. Is there a way to use <code>my_var_key</code> by passing in kwargs <em>without</em> having to specifically define it in the function call, or is the only way to use <code>kwargs[ "my_var_key" ]</code>?</p>
  
  <p>E.g. I want something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>def func(**kwargs):
      print(my_var_key)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>as opposed to</p>
  
  <pre><code>def func(my_var_key, **kwargs):
      print(my_var_key)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or </p>
  
  <pre><code>def func(**kwargs):
      print(kwargs[ "my_var_key" ])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm okay with it breaking if the key doesn't exist. </p>
