The basic problem is that kwds is a regular, unordered dict:

    def f(**kwds):
        print(type(kwds))

    >>> f()
    <class 'dict'>
    

----> Hi Eryk,

Yes, I realized this later that evening (probably thanks to can of cold beer :-)). But there is hope: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0468/ . Do you know if there is/will be a "from __future__" to backport that behavior? We're using Python 3.5 now.

Thank you!
