Are you saying that there is a warning message?
Or that the code breaks pychecker?

In older versions, the default for this warning was turned on.
It is off in more recent versions.

I personally think that superfluous use of named args are bad,
but that the feature is good when used properly.  For example,
with your code above, calling f(f=2) would be better written
f(2).  However for Tkinter, named args can be useful when there
are a bunch of parameters and you only want to use the last.
