To cut short this line of discussion; I meant the asterisk symbol purely in the context of collection packing/unpacking. Of course it has other uses too. Even that single use requires a whole paragraph to explain completely; when does it result in a tuple or a list, when is unpacking implicit and when not, why * versus **, and so on. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
