How to pass in dynamic class method key value parameters in python

Question

i could not find seemingly similarly already posted in stack so here goes a short example:

# Current Code
dbCon = pyodbc.connect(sCon, autocommit=True)

# Future/Desired pseudo code
vAutocommit = {'autocommit': True}
dbCon = pyodbc.connect(sCon, vAutocommit)

I'm sure i'm missing a simple python concept so please forgive to being newer to this language. Thank you.

You can pass the dictionary and unpack it as a kwarg:

# Current Code
dbCon = pyodbc.connect(sCon, autocommit=True)

# Future/Desired pseudo code
vAutocommit = {'autocommit': True}
dbCon = pyodbc.connect(sCon, **vAutocommit) <<< the ** unpacks the
                                                dictionary's key/value
                                                pairs as arguments.
