What is the most pythonic way to pass kwargs in this function?

Question

I want to create a shortcut function for creating a question object in my django tests.

I don't like to type something like new_q(timedelta(minutes=1)) all the time and I want to write that timedelta only once and be able to pass it's arguments in a nice way to the new_q function.

Is there any pythonic one line solution to this in which I don't have to capture the kwargs to a variable and then create a timedelta object in a new line?

from datetime import timedelta
from django.utils import timezone


def new_q(question_text = '', offset=timedelta(**kwargs)):
    time = timezone.now() + offset
    return Question.objects.create(question_text=question_text, pub_date=time)

usage:

test1 = new_q(minutes=1)
test2 = new_q('yo?', seconds=1)
test2 = new_q(question_text = 'maw?', hours=11)
test2 = new_q(question_text = 'maw?')
test2 = new_q('yo?')

Answer 1

def new_q(question_text = '', **kwargs):
    time = timezone.now() + timedelta(**kwargs)
    ...

This is still pretty concise: it mentions kwargs twice, but there's no offset or anything else extra.
