FWIW, I'd personnaly write avg as taking a sequence - ie,
not using varargs - in which case calling it without arguments would a
TypeError (so BTW please s/Value/Type/ in my previous post).
The problem with passing it as a sequence is, if you want to call it,
you may have to wrestle with this odd looking code:
avg((3, 4, 6, 7))
rather than this, more natural code:
avg(3, 4, 6, 7)
Possibly. Yet my experience is that, most of the time, such a function
will be called with an already existing sequence, so the most common
call scheme is
res = avg(some_sequence)
which is more natural than
res = avg(*some_sequence)
!-)
And FWIW, the OP asked if it is possible to pass variable amount of
arguments, avg is just a mere example of one where it could be used
not where it could be best used.
Indeed - but that's not what I was commenting on.
