Context please?

Where do you see there, and what are you asking about?
Asterisks surrounding variable names?

If there are in the code they probably mean multiplication,
if they appear in text describing code, they are probably
just there for *emphasis*. There is no such thing as italics
in a text file...

On the other hand *args and **kwargs are different
things, but we've recently covered that.
