def func(*args, **kwargs):
    print ('args =', args)
    print ('kwargs = ', kwargs)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    func('name', 11, 'a', 4)
    func(a = 'name', b = 11, c = 'a',  d = 4)
    func('name', 11, 'a', 4, a = 'name', b = 11, c = 'a',  d = 4)
    func('name', 11, 'a', None, a = 'name', b = 11, c = 'a',  d = None)

output

args = ('name', 11, 'a', 4)
kwargs =  {}
-----------
args = ()
kwargs =  {'a': 'name', 'b': 11, 'c': 'a', 'd': 4}
-----------
args = ('name', 11, 'a', 4)
kwargs =  {'a': 'name', 'b': 11, 'c': 'a', 'd': 4}
