Positional-only Parameters
--------------------------
To save code size, many functions that accept keyword arguments in CPython only accept positional arguments in MicroPython.
MicroPython marks positional-only parameters in the same way as CPython, by inserting a ``/`` to mark the end of the positional parameters. Any function whose signature ends in ``/`` takes *only* positional arguments. For more details, see `PEP 570 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0570/>`_.
Example
~~~~~~~
For example, in CPython 3.4 this is the signature of the constructor ``socket.socket``::
socket.socket(family=AF_INET, type=SOCK_STREAM, proto=0, fileno=None)
However, the signature documented in :func:`MicroPython<socket.socket>` is::
socket(af=AF_INET, type=SOCK_STREAM, proto=IPPROTO_TCP, /)
The ``/`` at the end of the parameters indicates that they are all positional-only in MicroPython. The following code works in CPython but not in most MicroPython ports::
import socket
s = socket.socket(type=socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
MicroPython will raise an exception::
TypeError: function doesn't take keyword arguments
The following code will work in both CPython and MicroPython::
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
