[New-bugs-announce] [issue14328] Add keyword-only parameter support to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords

[Larry Hastings]

New submission from Larry Hastings <larry at hastings.org>:

This has been split off from #14127 at Antoine's request.

The attached patch adds support for keyword-only arguments to the PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() family of functions.  Includes doc and test.

I used '$' to indicate "all parameters after this are keyword-only"; since they must also be optional it must follow a '|'.  (I would have used '*' but we already use that for 'U*' 's* etc.)

The patch already received one review from Greg P. Smith on the previous issue; the patch I'm attaching here is the second revision incorporating his suggestions.
