How to access arguments by name from function

[SriRajesh]

Hi,

I have function in which I am passing multiple lists. Now, I want to access (or assign to another variable) the lists (given as arguments in function) by its name. I tried below code, but its giving error.

#%% passing multiple lsit to function
def my_func(list1,list2,list3):
    return list1,list2,list3
p1 = my_func(list1 = ['BNKL', 'KPUI', 'HYNI'],\
             list2 = ['Ty'],\
                  list3 = [6, 7, 8])
print(" The first list : ", p1[0])
print(" The second list : ", p1[list1])
l_l1 = p1[1]

Error:

The first list :  ['BNKL', 'KPUI', 'HYNI']
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-2-30d2f38dbdd7>", line 6, in <module>
    print(" The second list : ", p1[list1])

NameError: name 'list1' is not defined
