Is there pointer * in Python?

[Davy]

Hi all,

When I read "programming python", I found there is a code like
def parse(self, *text):
while text is a string. What's "*" mean?(Does it mean pointer like in
C?)

And I recall there is "**args" in Python, what's "**" mean?

Best regards,
Davy

Hi!

like in C

Why think to C?
Why not Cobol? APL? Intercal?

For think right in Python, forget C, forget others languages, think
inside Python...

think inside Python...
Assuming you *can* think while being slowly crushed and digested
