That's the context I've seen it in, but written like this:
someFunc(*args)
I played around with it a little bit, and it appears the * operator
unpacks a list, tuple, or dictionary so that each element of the
container gets assigned to a different parameter variable. Although
with a dictionary, only the keys appear to be assigned to the
parameter variables, e.g.:
def g(a,b,c):
print a, b, c
dict = {"x":10, "y":20, "z":30}
g(*dict)
Is that right?
