There is an error in the syntax the star must prefix the variable name
not suffix it.
Then the items variable will accept the parameter value as a tuple.

It is not clear whether you want to accept a list variable or an
arbitrary number of values as parameter
to the function. So I will explain each case.
def ex(name,*items):
Here name, description and items can all accept lists as arguments.
Additionally items can accept arbitrary
number of arguments even of different types.
Ex:
ex([10,12],12,13.3,'Python')

I have answered this already.

No need u can pass a list directly into the call.
