Problem:
-------------
def mark( a, b , **kw):
   print 'Mark' 
   passKeywords(kw) # THIS DOESN'T WORK!!! MAKE IT WORK!!!
def passKeywords( a,**kw )
   """ just do something  """
   print 'Gibson'
-------------
call it:
doSomething( 1,3,name='Mark',Last='Gibson')
produces:
Mark
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in mark
TypeError: too many arguments; expected 0, got 1
-----------------
What I want to know is how do I pass kw from mark() to passKeywords()?
Solution:
apply(passKeywords, (), kw)
Or, in Python 2.0,
   passKeywords(**kw)
