I'm having trouble printing out tuples.

Say, I have a function "joker":

def joker(*args):
print "%s" %args

and I call the function with:

(Toggle Plain Text)

joker("dad", "dasdsad", "dasdas")

I get:

(Toggle Plain Text)

ERROR: not all arguments converted during string formatting

Well, putting

(Toggle Plain Text)

print args

would print the whole tuple, but what i'm trying to acheive is printing the tuple without the parenthesis. I'm ok with the comma.

Can get this to work. Can you guys help?

Thanks in advance.

p/s: I'm also wondering what does the red part do?

(Toggle Plain Text)

command="dasdasd"
args = ("dasdas","dasdas")
print(command%args)
