#375 Keyword arguments are interpreted as variables (python)

[Hugo Osvaldo Barrera]

Kwargs to functions or constructors are interpreted as variables, which greatly polluted the output with bogus data.

Here's a very brief example to quickly reproduce the issue:

from datetime import datetime


class A:
    when = datetime(
        year=2017,
        month=9,
        day=10,
    )


a = float(
    x=99,
)

Output:

!_TAG_FILE_FORMAT       2       /extended format; --format=1 will not append ;" to lines/      
!_TAG_FILE_SORTED       1       /0=unsorted, 1=sorted, 2=foldcase/                             
!_TAG_PROGRAM_AUTHOR    Darren Hiebert  /dhiebert@users.sourceforge.net/                       
!_TAG_PROGRAM_NAME      Exuberant Ctags //     
!_TAG_PROGRAM_URL       http://ctags.sourceforge.net    /official site/                        
!_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION   5.8     //             
A       test.py /^class A:$/;"  c              
a       test.py /^a = float($/;"        v      
datetime        test.py /^from datetime import datetime$/;"     i                              
day     test.py /^        day=10,$/;"   v       class:A                                        
month   test.py /^        month=9,$/;"  v       class:A                                        
when    test.py /^    when = datetime($/;"      v       class:A                                
x       test.py /^    x=99,$/;" v              
year    test.py /^        year=2017,$/;"        v       class:A    

[Masatake YAMATO]

Universal-ctags(https://ctags.io) forked from Exuberant-ctags works well.

[yamato@master]/tmp% cat /tmp/foo.py
cat /tmp/foo.py
from datetime import datetime

class A:
    when = datetime(
        year=2017,
        month=9,
        day=10,
    )

a = float(
    x=99,
)
[yamato@master]/tmp% u-ctags -o - /tmp/foo.py 
u-ctags -o - /tmp/foo.py 
A   /tmp/foo.py /^class A:$/;"  c
a   /tmp/foo.py /^a = float($/;"    v
when    /tmp/foo.py /^    when = datetime($/;"  v   class:A

Universal-ctags still doesn't have any stable releases yet, regrettably.
