Unpacking variable length list returned from function

Question

Ok so I\'m defining a function that takes a variable number of inputs and clamps each of them

def clamp(*args):
    return [ max(min(arg, 0.8), 0.2) for arg in a         


        

Answer 1

I think when you call it with one element, you can add a , after the name. a, = clamp(1). In this case, you don't have to modify your function and the automatic unpacking still happens.

>>> a, b, c = [1,2,3]
>>> a
1
>>> b
2
>>> c
3
>>> a, = [1]
>>> a
1
>>>
