As I said before, the "1,2,3" in `f(1,2,3)` has a very different meaning than the "1,2,3" in `d[1,2,3]`. One is a (comma-separated) list of expressions, and one is a single expression, a tuple.
`*(1,2,3)` does not evaluate to the tuple `(1,2,3)`, so I don't think expecting it to do so in the context of d[*(1,2,3)] makes sense. And, I would argue that having it to so would be far more inconsistent - why does it evaluate to the tuple `(1,2,3)` in the context of `d[*(1,2,3)]`, but not in the context of `f(*(1,2,3))`? Also, from a practical perspective, what would even be the point in allowing the syntax here if `d[*x]` meant exactly the same thing as `d[x]` (or `d[tuple(x)]` if it's not already a tuple)? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/XGYTJAM5P2BL4NM4SQUE7VLSDYB77OAU/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
