While the tutorial, in the section discussing function definitions, covers * and ** arguments, there is no aparent coverage of using them in a function call (e.g., ``open(*["file", "r"])``).

Logged In: YES user_id=174455 I believe f(seq) is covered in section 4.7.4 of the tutorial? (http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html#SECTION006740000000000000000) I've commited a patch to also include an example for f(*dict).
