That looks wrong:

     "**kwarg" catches only keyword but no positional argument.

     You call "get_content" with the positional argument "options"
     but have the formal parameter "**kwargs" at this position.
     This should give you a "TypeError".

You can use Python's build in function "apply" to turn a dictionary
into a sequence of keyword arguments.

You probably want this, too, when you call "content_html".

Looks like:

      apply(content.content_html,(client,mapping),kwargs)
