Replace function arguments name by local variables in Python [duplicate]

Question

I want to have the function like the following

unit = "days"
datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(unit = 1)

Where in the unit could be days, hours, and minutes etc., which may be changed according to the the time shift unit.

Is there any way to do it in a fast way?

You can give keyword arguments using a dictionary as follows:

args = {'days':1}
datetime.timedelta(**args)
