kylewm tommorris: KartikPrabhu: can you think of a disadvantage of changing mf2py.Parser.__init__'s signature to def __init__(self, doc=None, url=None) ?
#
KartikPrabhu kylewm: what is the advantage?
#
kylewm KartikPrabhu: I almost never remember to use the parameter names the first time; with named params, it would work with or without the named param
#
kylewm sorry that was worded very confusingly
#
KartikPrabhu no i got it
#
KartikPrabhu but then there is an order in which they are called right?
#
kylewm they have to be in order unless you specify each parameter by name
#
kylewm it might make sense to put url before doc, since doc is optional, whereas url is not (really)

#
KartikPrabhu kylewm: can you then just do Parser('example.com')?
#
kylewm yes, assuming the signature was __init__(url=None, doc=None)
#
KartikPrabhu but to give just a doc you'd have to do Parser(doc=document)...
#
kylewm yeah that's correct
#
KartikPrabhu might work...
#
kylewm do you have the problem, forgetting to name the parameters?
#
KartikPrabhu sometimes, but it throws and error anyway
#
kylewm it does??
#
KartikPrabhu no?
#
KartikPrabhu hmm maybe it just gives nothing

tommorris KartikPrabhu, kylewm: that all makes sense (sorry for slow response - at 1am this morning, I was busy being ill).
