  • It's not an operator as such, so it doesn't really have a name, but it is defined as a "syntactic rule". So it should be called: "the keyword argument unpacking syntax"
  • # usually a tuple, always an iterable*
  • # usually a dict, always a mapping*
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • kwargs
  • args =
  • *: Iterables are objects that implement the __iter__() method and mappings are objects that implement __iter__() and __getitem__()
  • If you are unsure what to call a particular operator or if it is unnamed, you can always resort to Waka Waka Bang Splat as a reference to help you figure out what to call it. In this case for ** I would call it double-splat, though there are some alternate names for symbols.
