args & kwargs

Look at this site
http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/01/how-to-use-args-and-kwargs-in-python/
I would say looking at more examples will help.
The way I understand it - if function accepts *args then you can pass any number of values(attributes, parameters) to it and then inside the function these values can be processed and used, if function accepts **kwargs then any number of key/value pairs can be passed to the function that can be processed and used.
In Maya python **kwargs pattern is used for passing MEL flags to python cmds version of the MEL command. For example cmds.ls(sl=true) - "sl=true" is a key/value pair passed to cmds.ls function that accepts **kwargs.
That's my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi, I understand what a non-keyword is, basically an argument, while a keyword is an variable inside and argument. What I'm having trouble understanding is *args & *kwargs. I found this site but I'm still stuck. I'm not too familiar with loops at the moment so the example used on the site mentioned throws me a curve ball.I'm hoping someone can re-interpret how to use *args & **kwargs ?

yury - I did read that understanding args and kwargs may be a bit a of a hurdle. ;-) I'll go over the examples again, I got frustrated and posted hoping someone would explain with the perfect touch ;-)

def foo(*args, **kwargs):
print(args)
print(kwargs)
*args means the function/method accepts any number of arguments and those will be available as items of tuple named args.
*kwargs means the function/method accepts any number of keyword arguments and those will be available as items of dictionary named kwargs.
You can pick any name for the tuple/dict storing the arguments, it's just a local variable.
Hope this helps,
Cheers

Rudi or anyone else ;-)
In the video correct me if I'm wrong but he was debugging code within Sublime text ?

print('Ref1:
%s'%id(process_all_textures)); Is taking the id and adding it to the string ? It can't be the math function modular because you can't modular a string with an id, correct ?
