• Advanced Parameter Handling For Functions

  def process(*params):
      for i in params:
          print i
  

  To pass a list or tuple to this function, use the * operator e.g:

  process(*(4,5,6,))
  

• Why Python Rocks III: Parameter expansion

  def address(name, first_line, post_code):
      print '\nThe address is:\n%s\n%s\n%s\n' % (name, first_line, post_code)
  

  To pass a dictionary to this function, use the ** operator e.g:

  data = {
      'name': 'Patrick',
      'first_line': 'Moorview',
      'post_code': 'AB17 6DC',
  }
  
  address(**data)
