Python: passing flags to functions

Question

For a long time i have been trying to figure out what is the best way to pass flags to python functions. The most straightforward way is something like:

def func         


        

Answer 1

With *args:

def some_func(data, *args):
    # do something
    return args # this is just to show how it works


>>> print some_func(12, 'test', 'test2', 'test3')
('test', 'test2', 'test3')

This is a good question to understand how *args and **kwargs work : *args and **kwargs?
