Is there a python naming convention for key word arguments?

__init__(*args, **kwds) means: unpack the tuple args and the dictionary kwds into arguments so that they're passed separately to __init__ . If you don't use the * and ** then you're passing args and kwds as they are, which means you're getting a tuple and a dictionary.
**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. Now, let's write a normal function and pass arguments through args and kwargs.
Use the Python **kwargs parameter to allow the function to accept a variable number of keyword arguments. Inside the function, the kwargs argument is a dictionary that contains all keyword arguments as its name-value pairs. Precede double stars ( ** ) to a dictionary argument to pass it to **kwargs parameter.
Kwargs allow you to pass keyword arguments to a function. They are used when you are not sure of the number of keyword arguments that will be passed in the function. Kwargs can be used for unpacking dictionary key, value pairs.
Nope, but normally it is named as **kwargs, but you can name it anything you want. Only thing is it should come at the last following any position args and named args.

The convention is **kwargs, as seen in documentation and PEPs.
