Pass list items as arguments to method

Assuming i have a method definition like this do_stuff(*arg).

I have a list of values, ['a','b',...]. How best can i pass the values of this list as individual arguments to the do_stuff method as do_stuff('a','b',...) ?

I’ve unsuccessfully tried using list comprehension – do_stuff([str(value) for value in some_list])

I am hoping i don’t have to change do_stuff() to accept a list

Any pointers would be appreciated.

>Solution :

You can pass them using the "*" operator. So an example would be like this:

def multiplyfouritems(a,b,c,d):
    return a*b*c*d

multiplyfouritems(*[1,2,3,4])
