I agree that *args makes the code non-obvious. However, if **kwargs
is used instead:
def str(obj, **kwargs):
return obj.__str__(**kwargs)
class Color:
msg = {'en':['red', 'green', 'blue'], 'de':['rot','grün','blau']}
def __str__(self, language='en'):
return self.msg[language][self.value]
red = Color(0)
print str(red, language='de')
I find that quite readable.
