...lists, the __call__ method first constructs a new argument tuple. Conveniently, because of the notation *args in __call__'s own argument list, the arguments to __call__ (except for self) are placed in the tuple args. To construct the desired argument list, we concatenate a singleton tuple containing the instance with the args tuple: (self.instance,) + args. (Note the trailing comma used to construct the singleton tuple.) In our example, the resulting argument tuple is (aninstance, 10)...

Goodger replied that we "won't know if we don't try ... let's get it off Tim's plate and onto ours". S. Deibel agreed. S. Holden remarked t...
