Here is a quick example I came up with: >>> def spam(*args, **kwargs): ... print "Here are the args you supplied:" ... for item in args: ... print item ... print ... print "Here are the kwargs you supplied:" ... for key,value in kwargs.items(): ... print key, '=', value ... >>> spam(1,'a','eggs',s=0, p=1, a=2, m=3) Here are the args you supplied: 1 a eggs Here are the kwargs you supplied: a = 2 p = 1 s = 0 m = 3 In the case of the spam() function, 1, 'a', and 'eggs' are all put into the sequence args (not sure if it is a list or tuple). The key/value pairs are bundled into the dictionary kwargs. The arguments have to be given in the right order though: >>> spam(t=1, b=1, 'this', 'will', 'fail') Traceback (SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg HTH!
