I like a flag on the object, and this would be my implementation:

```
def edir_impl():
    # implementation of edir
    pass

class Edir(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.kwargs = {}

    def __getattr__(self, name):
        return self.kwargs[name]

    def __setattr__(self, name, value):
        self.kwargs[name] = value

    def __delattr__(self, name):
        del self.kwargs[name]

    def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        kwargs_to_use = self.kwargs.copy()
        kwargs_to_use.update(kwargs)
        edir_impl(*args, **kwargs_to_use)

edir = Edir()
```
(untested, but you get the idea, hopefully)

This also allows to have several versions of edir around in a shell
with different default settings.
