4.7.3 可变参数表 Arbitrary Argument Lists

Finally, the least frequently used option is to specify that a function can be called with an arbitrary number of arguments. These arguments will be wrapped up in a tuple. Before the variable number of arguments, zero or more normal arguments may occur.

最后，一个最不常用的选择是可以让函数调用可变个数的参数。这些参数被包装进一个拓扑。在这些可变个数的参数之前，可以有零到多个普通的参数：

def fprintf(file, format, *args):
    file.write(format % args)
