4,129 PointsI think you might be getting confused between packing and unpacking - look back at the Python course on functions, packing and unpacking.
Packing is when you want arguments passed to a function to be "packed" as a tuple. This can be achieved using the convention *args as your function argument.
Unpacking is when you want the elements within some Python sequence to be assigned to individual variables.
