Add tuple to list

Given a tuple (specifically the varargs functions), I want to add a list containing one or more elements and then call another function with the result as a list. So far, the best I've come up with is:

def fn(*args):
    l = ['foo', 'bar']
    l.extend(args)
    fn2(l)

Which, given that Pythons have the usual patience when it comes to this sort of thing, it looks like it takes 2 more lines than it needs to. Is there a more pythonic way?

You can convert a tuple to a list, which will allow you to link it to another list. i.e:



def fn(*args):
    fn2(['foo', 'bar'] + list(args))
+9

If your fn2 also accepted varargs, you won't need to create a concatenated list:

def fn2(*l):
    print l

def fn(*args):
    fn2(1, 2, *args)

fn(10, 9, 8)


produces

(1, 2, 10, 9, 8)
+1
