python - How to split list and pass them as separate parameter?

Question

My problem is I have values in a list. And I want to separate these values and send them as a separate parameter.

My code is:

def egg():
    return "egg"

def egg2(arg1, arg2):
    print arg1
    print arg2

argList = ["egg1", "egg2"]
arg = ', '.join(argList)

egg2(arg.split())

This line of code (egg2(arg.split())) does not work, but I wanted to know if it is possible to call some built-in function that will separated values from list and thus later we can send them as two different parameters. Similar to egg2(argList[0], argList[1]), but to be done dynamically, so that I do no have to type explicitly list arguments.

Answer 1

>>> argList = ["egg1", "egg2"]
>>> egg2(*argList)
egg1
egg2

You can use *args (arguments) and **kwargs (for keyword arguments) when calling a function. Have a look at this blog on how to use it properly.
