[New-bugs-announce] [issue27160] Silent truncation of kwargs when passing keywords containing colons

[Kenneth Lim]

New submission from Kenneth Lim:

Passing a dict with colon-containing keys as kwargs to a function results in a KeyError stemming from a silent truncation of the keys.

Error does not clearly describe the issue in this case.
