I just have one quick question. On the line where you have zip(*arr), what is the * for? Is it like the pointer operator, such as with C? Or is it exactly the pointer operator?
[snip] The * in the argument list of a function call unpacks the following list as arguments for the call, for example, zip(*[0, 1, 2]) becomes zip(0, 1, 2), so zip(*arr) becomes zip(arr[0], arr[1], ...). There's also **, which unpacks a dict as keyword arguments. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
