simple question on optional parameters

[scooterm@hotmail.com]

I am using a toolkit that has a SetFaveNumbers( ) method. the method
accepts any number
of comma-separated numbers.

the following are all valid examples:

FooToolkit.SetF aveNumbers(1,3, 5)
FooToolkit.SetF aveNumbers(2,4, 6,8,10)
FooToolkit.SetF aveNumbers(1)

I do not know how this method is implemented, but I would like to be
able
to call the method using a single variable:

MyFaveNumbers = []
MyFaveNumbers.a ppend(2)
MyFaveNumbers.a ppend(4)

FooToolkit.SetF aveNumbers(MyFa veNumbers)

how is this possible in python?

See if this works:
FooToolkit.SetF aveNumbers(*MyF aveNumbers)

The asterix unpacks a list or tuple into individual items.

any number of arguments, that is.

try:

FooToolkit.SetF aveNumbers(*MyF aveNumbers)
