What are Kwarg!!??
I have been going through a tutorial in django, trying to learn the language, and I stumbled on this.
I would really appreciate if some can post / point to a simple example that would help grasp why and how this is used.

**kwargs allows you to handle named arguments that you have not defined in advance. In a function call, keyword arguments must follow positional arguments.
**kwargs allows us to pass a variable number of keyword arguments to a Python function. In the function, we use the double-asterisk ( ** ) before the parameter name to denote this type of argument.
The term Kwargs generally represents keyword arguments, suggesting that this format uses keyword-based Python dictionaries. Let's try an example. **kwargs stands for keyword arguments. The only difference from args is that it uses keywords and returns the values in the form of a dictionary.
**kwargs means keyword arguments. Its actually not a python keyword, its just a convention, that people follow. That will get all the key-value parameters passed to the function.
Based on Keyword arguments' documentation pointed out by @Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams
**kwargs allows you to handle named arguments that you have not defined in advance.
In a function call, keyword arguments must follow positional arguments.
All the keyword arguments passed must match one of the arguments accepted by the function (e.g. actor is not a valid argument for the parrot function), and their order is not important.
