Expanding tuples into arguments

Question

Is there a way to expand a Python tuple into a function - as actual parameters?

For example, here expand() does the magic:

some_tuple =          


        

Answer 1

Take a look at the Python tutorial section 4.7.3 and 4.7.4. It talks about passing tuples as arguments.

I would also consider using named parameters (and passing a dictionary) instead of using a tuple and passing a sequence. I find the use of positional arguments to be a bad practice when the positions are not intuitive or there are multiple parameters.
