variable function call

[Uwe Schmitt]

Hi,

I'd like to write a wrapper-function which takes a function and a
variable parameter-list like this:


    def wrapper(fun, *args):

	... do some checks ...

	fun(args)

	... do some update of states ...


But if I use the function


   def sum(a,b): return a+b


and do

   wrapper(sum,1,2)

I get an errormessage "sum() takes two arguments ( 1 given) " because
sum() gets one tuple of two values instead of two seperate values.

Is there any trick to circumvent this error ??? The problem is, that
I'm not able to manipulate the calling-syntax of the functions
transmitted to the wrapper...

Yours, Uwe
