How to expand a list to function arguments in Python [duplicate]
It exists, but it's hard to search for. I think most people call it the "splat" operator.
It's in the documentation as "Unpacking argument lists".
You'd use it like this: foo(*values)
. There's also one for dictionaries:
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}def foo(a, b): passfoo(**d)
You should use the * operator, like foo(*values)
Read the Python doc unpackaging argument lists.
Also, do read this: http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/01/how-to-use-args-and-kwargs-in-python/
def foo(x,y,z): return "%d, %d, %d" % (x,y,z)values = [1,2,3]# the solution.foo(*values)
