How do I pass a dictionary to a function as an argument?
# Say I have a function foo...
def foo (arg=[]):
x = arg['name']
y = arg['len']
s = len (x)
t = s + y
return (s, t)
# The dictionary:
dict = {}
dict['name'] = 'Joe Shmoe'
dict['len'] = 44
# I try to pass the dictionary as an argument to a
# function
len, string = foo (dict)
# This bombs with 'TypeError: unpack non-sequence'
What am I doing wrong with the dictionary?
