Python Args Quotes

Dereferencing pointers in Cython is different than in C. Because the Python language already uses the *args and **kwargs syntax to allow arbitrary positional and keyword arguments and to support function argument unpacking, Cython does not support the *a syntax to dereference a C pointer. Instead, we index into the pointer at location 0 to dereference a pointer in Cython. This syntax also works to dereference a pointer in C, although that’s rare.

t = Thread( target = extractFile, args =( zFile, password)) t.start()

my_dict = {"c": 3, "a": 1} func_1(**my_dict)  # 1 0 3 0 # dictionary packing def func_2(**args):     print(args) func_2(x=1, y=2)  # {’x’: 1, ’y’: 2}

args: This attribute is set automatically when an exception object is created. It contains a tuple of arguments passed to the exception constructor.

Using dictionary packing in combination with a variable argument list, it is possible to define a highly flexible signature for a function or method: (*args, **kwargs)
