No, you aren't mistaken. Looking at the "*" symbol in the 2.6
documentation index it lists only two references. The first is the
language manual's explanation of its use in the def statement, the

that's in the tutorial where it is not likely to get much attention.
There's a full description of it in 5.4.3 in the Language Reference, but
apparently not indexed.
So I guess this means I can duck out of writing up a lecture on my own
understanding of Python's extended call syntax. Great.
I think I grock the extended call syntax, and when the question came up
I was surprised not to be able to find where I learned it. Mark, where
exactly does one look to see this "full description"?
