Optional Parameter Requirements

[dhable]

If I'm building a function to accept optional parameters, do I need to
allow for the capture of both the positional arguments as well as the
keyword arguments? If it doesn't make sense to allow keyword arguments,
can I just write:

def myfunc(a, b, *tup):
...

and be done with it?

TIA

Just try and see if it works.
