There is a newer version: 4.23.0.17664

This rule raises an issue when a function is called with multiple values for the same parameter.
Why is this an issue?
When a function is called, it accepts only one value per parameter. The Python interpreter will raise a SyntaxError when the same
parameter is provided more than once, i.e. myfunction(a=1, a=2).
Other less obvious cases will also fail at runtime by raising a TypeError, when:

   An argument is provided by value and position at the same time. 
   An argument is provided twice, once via unpacking and once by value or position. 

Code examples
Noncompliant code example
def func(a, b, c):
    return a * b * c

func(6, 93, 31, c=62) # Noncompliant: argument "c" is duplicated

params = {'c':31}
func(6, 93, 31, **params) # Noncompliant: argument "c" is duplicated
func(6, 93, c=62, **params) # Noncompliant: argument "c" is duplicated

Compliant solution
def func(a, b, c):
    return a * b * c

func(c=31, b=93, a=6) # Compliant

params = {'c':31}
func(6, 93, **params) # Compliant
