If your question is about the syntax, it's just the way of passing any number of arguments to a function as explained in:
http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html#SECTION006730000000000000000

If your question is about what will actually be passed in these arguments, the answer is simply: I don't know, and I don't care. That's why I used a *args: I just want to pass to the c1.xview and c2.xview methods exactly what was passed to my xscrollboth function. Since Python allows me to just pass the list of arguments unchanged, I happily do it.
