You can take advantage of a nifty "syntax convenience feature" here.
Instead of loading all of the function's arguments into a list
"manually", you can make it happen automatically:
def diophantine_nuggets(x,y,z):
cbc = 0
packages =[x,y,z]
... becomes ...
def diophantine_nuggets(*packages):
cbc = 0
The asterisk (*) in the function's signature does the trick.
for n_nuggets in range(50):
Careful -- in the general case, you might need to search beyond 50 for
your answer!
Best,
