How to split list and pass them as separate parameter?

Question

My problem is I have values in a list. And I want to separate these values and send them as a separate parameter.

My code is:

def egg():
    return          


        

Answer 1

>>> argList = ["egg1", "egg2"]
>>> egg2(*argList)
egg1
egg2

You can use *args (arguments) and **kwargs (for keyword arguments) when calling a function. Have a look at this blog on how to use it properly.

Answer 2

arg.split() does not split the list the way you want because the default separator does not match yours:

In [3]: arg
Out[3]: 'egg1, egg2'

In [4]: arg.split()
Out[4]: ['egg1,', 'egg2']

In [5]: arg.split(', ')
Out[5]: ['egg1', 'egg2']

From the docs (emphasis added):

If sep is not specified or is None, a different splitting algorithm is applied: runs of consecutive whitespace are regarded as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty strings at the start or end if the string has leading or trailing whitespace.

Answer 3

There is a special syntax for argument unpacking:

egg2(*argList)

Answer 4

There are maybe better ways, but you can do:

argList = ["egg1", "egg2"]
(a, b) = tuple(argList)
egg2(a, b)
