python函数参数收集及其反转

*<-->tuple和**<-->dict的使用分为两种情况，一种是函数调用，另外一种是函数定义。

Function call

*tuple means “treat the elements of this tuple as positional arguments to this function call.”

def foo(x, y):
    print(x, y)

>>> t = (1, 2)
>>> foo(*t)
1 2

**dict means “treat the key-value pairs in the dictionary as additional named arguments to this function call.”

def foo(x, y):
    print(x, y)

>>> d = {'x':1, 'y':2}
>>> foo(**d)
1 2

Function signature

*tuple means “take all additional positional aruments to this function and pack them into this parameter as a tuple.”

def foo(*x):
    print(x)

>>> foo(1, 2)
(1, 2)

**dict means “take all additional named arguments to this function and insert them into this parameter as dictionary entries.”

def foo(**d):
    print(d)

>>> foo(x=1, y=2)
{'y': 2, 'x': 1}
