For the *star, see apply here: http://docs.python.org/lib/non-essential-built-in-funcs.html For example: aFunction(*(1,2,3)) is equivalent to: aFunction(1,2,3) For the @ symbol, I assume you mean function decorators: http://docs.python.org/ref/function.html For example: @someDecorator def someFunc(): pass is equivalent to: def someFunc(): pass someFunc = someDecorator(someFunc) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
