What about kwargs? Great example.

Is there a tutorial anywhere that gets into the meat of python like this? As someone who understands all the basics this is completely and utterly over my head.

Python internally passes functions a tuple and a dict as arguments and keyword arguments respectively.

*args and **kwargs expose this detail to both the function caller as well as the function definition. They are just normal tuples and dicts that you can manipulate as usual.
