I don't know about "proper" but it's pretty common. You could also
use a positional arg:
def fn(cmp, *values):
# blah blah
fn(cmp, 1, 2, 3) # call the function
You could check for invalid keys a little more concisely than in your
example. For example with sets:
def fn(*values, **options):
if Set(options.keys()) - Set(('cmp')):
raise error...
