Re: Verbose and flexible args and kwargs syntax

For what it's worth, googling for "python asterisk"
gives this as the very first result:

   http://www.technovelty.org/code/python/asterisk.html

which tells you exactly what you're probably wanting
to know if you ask that.

To check that this phenomemon isn't restricted to
asterisks in particular, I also tried "python plus
equals" and got

   http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2347265/what-does-plus-equals-do-in-python

which is also a pretty good result.

So the rule of thumb seems to be: if you're trying to
google for punctuation, try spelling it out.
