dictionary - Converting Python dict to kwargs?

Question

I want to build a query for sunburnt(solr interface) using class inheritance and therefore adding key - value pairs together. The sunburnt interface takes keyword arguments. How can I transform a dict ({'type':'Event'}) into keyword arguments (type='Event')?

Answer 1

Use the double-star (aka double-splat?) operator:

func(**{'type':'Event'})

is equivalent to

func(type='Event')
