    ...number of arguments passed. (For simplicity, support for keyword arguments has been omitted.) In order to be able to support arbitrary argument 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.i...
