Distinction between Default Argument Values and Keyword Arguments?
<p>Are default argument values perceived as keyword arguments by python? I'm not able understand the distinction</p>

<p>I can't understand this thread <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1419046/python-normal-arguments-vs-keyword-arguments">Python normal arguments vs. keyword arguments</a></p>

<p>On a side note, most tutorials and video series seemed to be geared towards python 2.*. Should I learn python 3 instead python 2 or can I make the transition later easily. I'm just learning this out of curiosity.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
