It is not clear whether you want to accept a list variable or an arbitrary number of values as parameter to the function. So I will explain each case. def ex(name,*items): Here name, description and items can all accept lists as arguments. Additionally items can accept arbitrary number of arguments even of different types. Ex: ex([10,12],12,13.3,'Python') > > Question 2: How do I signify to accept each item as one list?

No need u can pass a list directly into the call.
