I have the following piece of code that is bugging me:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def someFunc(arg1, arg2=True, arg3=0):
print arg1, arg2, arg3
someTuple = (
("this is a string",),
("this is another string", False),
("this is another string", False, 100)
)
for argList in someTuple:
if len(argList) == 1:
someFunc(argList[0])
elif len(argList) == 2:
someFunc(argList[0], argList[1])
elif len(argList) == 3:
someFunc(argList[0], argList[1], argList[2])
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it possible to rewrite this code so I don't have that awkward if
statement at the bottom that passes every variation in the number of
arguments to the function? I know that it's possible to define a function
to accept a variable number of parameters using *args or **kwargs, but it's
not possible for me to redefine this function in the particular project I'm
working on.
What I would really like to do is something like this (pseudocode) and do
away with the if statement completely:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def someFunc(arg1, arg2=True, arg3=0):
print arg1, arg2, arg3
someTuple = (
("this is a string",),
("this is another string", False),
("this is another string", False, 100)
)
for argList in someTuple:
someFunc(expandArgList(argList))
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this possible? Thanks in advance.
