Hello, thanks for this valuable resource on how to use GAM in Python. I would like to know how I should specify knot locations.
I tried bs.knot_kwds={'knots':(num1,num2)}
It runs without error. But, is this the correct way?

The docstring says list of dict, because splines could have several variables and we need several splines. Try brackets [ ] around the dict.

You can inspect the bsplines instance to see how the knots where set.
Note: in Bsplines everything is in list of splines, e.g. from above bs = BSplines(x_spline, df=[12, 10], degree=[3, 3])

AFAICS, [s.knots for s in bs.smoothers] should show the knots for each univariate bspline.
