Hello everyone! I need to pack a long list of numbers into shared memory, so I thought about using `struct.pack_into`. Its signature is struct.pack_into(format, buffer, offset, v1, v2, ...) I have a long list of nums (several millions), ended up doing the following: struct.pack_into(f'{len(nums)}Q', buf, 0, *nums) However, passing all nums as `*args` is very inefficient [0]. So I started wondering why we don't have something like: struct.pack_into(format, buffer, offset, values=values) which would receive the list of values directly. Is that because my particular case is very uncommon? Or maybe we *do* want this but we don't have it yet? Or do we already have a better way of doing this? Thanks!
