When enabled, calling a function like `add(1, 2)` will trigger a type error; only `add(a=1, b=2)` is accepted. This is similar in spirit to code formatters like Black\u2014it removes the need to debate call conventions and ensures consistency across a codebase.\n\nThe plugin is configured via mypy's standard configuration files (pyproject.toml, mypy.ini, or setup.cfg) and supports an ignore list for functions where keyword arguments are impractical (e.g., builtins like `str()`). It depends only on mypy and has low install friction. The maintainer is active, with recent releases supporting Python 3.11 through 3.14.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your team values consistent call conventions and you already use mypy. Install friction is minimal, maintenance is active, and the plugin solves a real style problem without licensing friction. Not worth installing if you don't use mypy or if your codebase relies heavily on positional arguments to builtins or third-party libraries (though the ignore list mitigates this)."},"id":"mypy-strict-kwargs","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mypy-strict-kwargs","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mypy-strict-kwargs.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mypy-strict-kwargs/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mypy-strict-kwargs","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Enforce using keyword arguments where possible."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":150724,"position":10957,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2026.7.19.1"}
