I actually hope that extended function call syntax in Py3k will use iterators rather than tuples so that this problem goes away. I suggested this a while back on the Python list: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-December/257282.html Raymond Hettinger brought up a few pretty valid complaints, [...] What he said. There's no way this is going to happen. If you want to have a function that takes an iterator and you want to pass it an iterator, just do that -- don't use the *args notation.

I guess that answers that, then. . . so noted on the Python 3.0 Suggestions wiki page.

Cheers, Nick.
