question about functions

[chris patton]

Hi everyone.

I have a question about passing arguments to python functions. Is there
any way to make this job act like Perl?

sub my_funk {

print "the first argument: $_[0]\n";
print "the second argument: $_[1]\n"; }

In other words, can I call the arguments from a list?

Just pass a list. E.g.:

# start of ascript

def my_funk(alist):
print "the first argument: %s" % alist[1]
print "the second argument: %s" % alist[2]

mylist = ['wuzzup,','g?']

my_funk(mylist)

# end of ascript


Here is the output you expect:

the first argument: wuzzup,
the second argument: g?

Oops, I messed up the indices on the previous post.
Also, maybe you are thinking a bit more perlish:

# start of ascript

def my_funk(*alist):
print "the first argument: %s" % alist[0]
print "the second argument: %s" % alist[1]

my_funk('wuzzup,','g?')

# end of ascript

Yes.

... print args[0]
... print args[1]
...this is
a test

Read up on positional and keyword arguments (the latter are something that'd
make me choose python over anything else instantly) in the Python tutorial
and documentation.
