simple question on optional parameters

[scooterm]

I am using a toolkit that has a SetFaveNumbers() method. the method
accepts any number
of comma-separated numbers.

the following are all valid examples:

FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(1,3,5)
FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(2,4,6,8,10)
FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(1)

I do not know how this method is implemented, but I would like to be
able
to call the method using a single variable:

MyFaveNumbers = []
MyFaveNumbers.append(2)
MyFaveNumbers.append(4)

FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(MyFaveNumbers)

how is this possible in python?

any number of arguments, that is.

the following are all valid examples:

FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(1,3,5)
FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(2,4,6,8,10)
FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(1)

I do not know how this method is implemented, but I would like to be

MyFaveNumbers = []
MyFaveNumbers.append(2)
MyFaveNumbers.append(4)

FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(MyFaveNumbers)

try:

FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(*MyFaveNumbers)

</F>

See if this works:
FooToolkit.SetFaveNumbers(*MyFaveNumbers)
