1610+ .. opcode :: CALL_FUNCTION_EX
1611+
1612+ Calls a callable object with a variable set of positional and keyword
1613+ arguments collected at runtime. It expects (in ascending order):
1614+
1615+ * the callable object
1616+ * ``NULL `` (a marker used in the calling convention; may be elided in
1617+ optimized internal forms)
1618+ * a :class: `tuple ` containing the positional arguments
1619+ * either ``NULL `` or a :class: `dict ` containing the keyword arguments
1620+
1621+ The positional arguments tuple and the keyword arguments dict are each
1622+ "unpacked" and passed to the callable. ``CALL_FUNCTION_EX `` pops all these
1623+ items and pushes the callable's return value.
1624+
1625+ Earlier Python versions documented an integer *flags * operand indicating
1626+ the presence of a mapping object for keyword arguments; this no longer
1627+ applies. The opcode itself no longer has a separate operand or flag bits
1628+ for this purpose in Python 3.14 and later.
1629+
1630+ .. versionadded :: 3.6
1631+ .. versionchanged :: 3.14
1632+ The obsolete *flags * argument was removed from the documentation; the
1633+ opcode no longer uses an operand to signal presence of ``**kwargs ``.
