How to pass more than one argument to Process?

Question

I would like to start a function with multiple arguments as a new Process using the multiprocess module:

 def f(*args):
    x= args[0]
    y= args[1]
    return x+y

p = Process(target=f,args=??)

I would like to know how I can pass the multiple arguments; the documentation as far as I know doesn't mention that.

Answer 1

Using separate arguments:

def f(x,y):
    return x+y

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = Process(target=f,args=(1,2,))
    p.start()
    p.join()

Using *args syntax:

def f(*args):
    x = args[0]
    y = args[1]
    return x+y

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = Process(target=f,args=(1,2,))
    p.start()
    p.join()
