i(*args) statement

[chelovek]

Hi,

I'm studying code for a Kivy app and am having trouble understanding a piece of syntax. For context, this is part of an app that lets a user drop a file into the app and then populates the file-name in the interface.

What does the for loop with the "i(*args)" statement do, exactly? I would understand if it were drops[i], but have no clue what i(*args) does.

Thanks. Happy to provide more details if that helps. Even a point in the right direction (i.e. a topic to look up) would be helpful.

class WeatherApp(App):
    def build(self):
        self.drops = []
        Window.bind(on_dropfile=self.handledrops)
        return DropFile()
    def handledrops(self, *args):
       for i in self.drops:
            i(*args)
