Hi Zoh,

This mailing list is for the development *of* Python, not for questions 
about developing *with* Python. You should ask your question on a 
mailing list / newsgroup like python-list or python-tutor. python-list 
is available via google groups:

https://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/topics

You haven't given enough information to answer the question however. The 
first argument 'self' means that the function is probably a method of a 
class, and should be called from a class instance. The *args / **kwargs 
means that the function can take any number of arguments or keyword 
arguments, which doesn't tell us anything about the function should be 
used.

You can find out more on Python functions in the tutorial:

All the best,

Michael Foord
