Redirecting a funtion parameter to an other function is a quite common situation in programming. Here the question was forwarding *args parameter. Have you ever tried this and found the difference in cases: def f(*args): x = g(args) # how g sees arguments in this case x = g(*args) # and how it sees them in this case I am happy with what Dennis Lee Bieber wrote in the second latest node in this chain. So luckily my "flattern" is not needed because the problem I had can be solved in the calling function. TV -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
