Not necessarily! Watch: def foo(*args): print(repr(args)) foo("Hello","world","!") ('Hello', 'world', '!') Okay, that's not technically a list, it's a tuple, but same diff. Your callers still see you as taking separate arguments, but you take them as a single collection. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
