problems binding a dictionary

[vida00 at gmail.com]

this has to be a very silly thing.

I have a function foo taking a dictionary as parameters. i.e.: def
foo(**kwargs): pass
when I call foo(param1='blah',param2='bleh',param3='blih') everything
is fine.
but when I do:
>>> def foo(**kwargs):
...     pass
...
>>> d=dict(param1='blah',param2='bleh',param3='blih')
>>> foo(d)

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: foo() takes exactly 0 arguments (1 given)

Why? how do I pass the dictionary *d* to foo()?
Thanks,

- Josh.
