[New-bugs-announce] [issue41414] AST for arguments shows extra element

[James Foster]

New submission from James Foster <python at jgfoster.net>:

https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/ast.html shows seven elements:
    arguments = (arg* posonlyargs, arg* args, arg? vararg, arg* kwonlyargs,
                 expr* kw_defaults, arg? kwarg, expr* defaults)

https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/ast.html shows six elements:
    arguments = (arg* args, arg? vararg, arg* kwonlyargs, expr* kw_defaults,
                 arg? kwarg, expr* defaults)

based on ast.c:1479 I believe that six is the proper number and that the first element ("arg* posonlyargs, ") is a duplicate of the second element ("arg* args, ") and should be removed.
