What happened?

Just like the title says, passing an extra keyword argument corresponding to scipy's curve_fit throws an exception. The documentation has a parameter section that says:

*kwargs (optional) – Additional keyword arguments to passed to scipy curve_fit

So if one specifies a method="trf" keyword argument to the .curvefit method, you get an error: TypeError: curvefit() got an unexpected keyword argument 'method'

The only way it works as expected is if I pass the keyword arguments as dictionary elements via a kwargs argument like so: kwargs={"method": "trf"}. This behaviour contradicts what is mentioned in the docstring.

What did you expect to happen?

No error thrown

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

import pandas as pd
import xarray as xr
import numpy as np

da = xr.DataArray(

    np.random.rand(4, 3),

    [

        ("time", pd.date_range("2000-01-01", periods=4)),

        ("space", ["IA", "IL", "IN"]),

    ],

)
da.curvefit(coords=["time"], func=lambda x, params: x, method="trf")

MVCE confirmation

• Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
• Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
• Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
• New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
