Question

I would like to do something similar to this post, but in Python.

I want to pass an argument from function1(abc) into function2 as type = (abc).

Pseudocode below:

function1 (*args, abc):
    print xyz

    function2(type=abc)

Based on your pseudocode:

def function2(type):
  print type

def function1(abc, *args):
  print "something"
  function2(type=abc)

>>> function1("blah", 1, 2, 3)
something
blah

But based on your linked question, maybe you wanted to pass the varargs:

def function2(type, *args):
  print type, args

def function1(abc, *args):
  print "something"
  function2(abc, *args)

>>> function1("blah", 1, 2, 3)
something
blah (1, 2, 3)
