I think this may have been broken in 3.x, but in 2.6 the compiler will unpack directly if you put a tuple structure in the arg list: def doit(fn, (args, kwargs), expect): actual = fn(*args, **kwargs) Otherwise I'd just say "all_args" or some such. Or just "args" which you unpack into "pos_args" (positional args) and "kw_args". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
