Where can I read about
this mysterious use of the '*'?
Hmmm... that's a harder question than I thought. Am I missing it, or
does Python's doc need a write-up of the extended call syntax?
It only works in the
context of the zip() function. It's hard to understand
how the interpreter handles that.
It works generally, for any callable. See the doc for 'apply':
http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#non-essential-built-in-functions
It not only works in a call, but also in function definitions. You can
call a function with the extended call syntax whether or not is defined
with * and ** arguments.
