When used in a function call (as opposed to a function definition), * is the "unpacking" operator. Basically, it "flattens" an iterable into arguments. The docs mention it... http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/tut/node6.html#SECTION006740000000000000000 http://www.python.org/doc/faq/programming/#how-can-i-pass-optional-or-keyword-parameters-from-one-function-to-another ...but not in great detail. You can apply * to an arbitrary expression, e.g.: >>> def f3(a, b, c): pass >>> f3(1, 2, 3) >>> f3(*range(3)) >>> f3(*[1, 2, 3]) --Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
