"SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg" Error in Python when using requests.post()

arguments, post, python

Solution

Try:

`response = requests.post("http://api.bf3stats.com/pc/player/", opt, data=player)`

You cannot put a non-keyword argument after a keyword argument.

Take a look at the docs at http://docs.python.org/2.7/tutorial/controlflow.html?highlight=keyword%20args#keyword-arguments for more info.

Problem

``` response = requests.post("http://api.bf3stats.com/pc/player/", data = player, opt) ``` After running this line in the python IDLE to test things i encounter the syntax error: non-keyword arg after keyword arg. Don't know whats going here. `player` and `opt` are variables that contain a one word string.
