In re *args and **kwargs, also note that one may use these forms when 
passing arguments in a function call:

def a(*b,**c):
   print b, c

t = (1,2,3)
d = {'1':2, '3':4}
a(*t, **d) # results in: (1, 2, 3) {'1': 2, '3': 4}
This can be particularly handy when writing wrapper code around a function 
that expects either form of argument lists.

Also note that

def makedict(**kwargs):return kwargs  # is a great shorthand for creating 
dictionaries
print makedict(a=2,b=4) # results in: {'a': 2, 'b': 4}
