[deprecated list] physParamsAttr -> **physParamsAttr (?)

[Vincent Richefeu]

Vaclav,
What happened with physParamsAttr in the python function like
utils.sphere or utils.box?
Does ** before physParamsAttr means that the variable is deprecated?
my scripts fail now with:
RuntimeError: Invalid key: `physParamsAttr'
Thanks for help,
VR

**kw means that reamining arguments will be converted to dictionary.
Therefore, if you had something like args={'arg1':value1,'arg2':value2}
before, you should say

utils.box(..., arg1=value1,arg2=value2)

or, if you are lazy, pass the dictionary but expand it to the arguments
by saying utils.box(...,**args).

(BTW, single * expands tuple to sequence of unnamed arguments in python,
so that f(1,2,3) and args=(1,2,3); f(*args) are the same).

HTH, Vaclav
