Not sure what exactly you are proposing here, this works for me: Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:53:16) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> def f(*args): print(args) >>> f(34, ..., 43) (34, Ellipsis, 43) Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
