Question

I would like to create a function that uses two variable length arguments. For example:

def my_func(*args1, *args2):
    for i in args1:
        do stuff
    for j in args2:
        do stuff

Is there a way in Python to use more than one *args? Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

No, as there is no way to decide whether

my_func(a, b)

means

args = [], args2 = [a,b] # or ..
args = [a], args2 = [b]  # or ..
args = [a,b], args2 = []

Instead, simply let the function take two lists as arguments.
