scipy.stats._morestats:_parse_dist_kw

Parameters

dist : str or stats.distributions instance.

Several functions take dist as a keyword, hence this utility function.

enforce_subclass : bool, optional

If True (default), dist needs to be a _distn_infrastructure.rv_generic instance. It can sometimes be useful to set this keyword to False, if a function wants to accept objects that just look somewhat like such an instance (for example, they have a ppf method).
