I posted an issue - having similar warnings in Python 2. I believe it's a bug in their inspection (in PyCharm 5), but let's see how they respond.

To moderators: this is a valid answer as recognized by the OP. It is not a "comment". Please read carefully before deleting.

This inspection reports discrepancies between declared parameters and actual arguments, as well as incorrect arguments (e.g. duplicate named arguments) and incorrect argument order. Decorators are analyzed, too.

^That's what PyCharm is telling me. It's a weak warning, so my code runs fine.
```
import collections
var_dict = {}
var_dict = collections.OrderedDict(sorted(var_dict.items()))
```
^This is the line of code in question. I believe the warning has to do with the OrderedDict call.

I checked the OrderedDict documentation for Python 3.5, but I'm still nonplussed.

Why am I getting this warning? I'm using PyCharm Community Edition 5.0.1

OP here. Yes, a bug would explain why I have a weak warning still. If no new news appears before tomorrow, when the bounty expires, I will accept this answer.

Your issue appears to have been fixed, but only in isolated cases. In particular a new issue identifies false warnings with e.g. collections.defaultdict(None, dict(a=1)) or collections.OrderedDict(dict(a=1))
