QDateEntry: setting current date as mimimum

[Rich Shepard]

Looking for the proper way to set the current date as the minimum for a
QDateEntry widget python shows an error at the beginning of that line and,
despite my looking at examples on web pages, I don't see my error.

The error:
$ python mwe.py
   File "mwe.py", line 18
     cont_date.setMinimumDate(QDate(self.now_date)),
     ^
SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument

I don't know which are the positional and keyword errors because there are
so many constraints set on this widget.

Looking forward to learning,

Rich
