Mostly, I figured out how to use **myarg yesterday but I was trying to
just pass a simple parameter rather than a keyword=arg object (a
dictionary?)

def hello(arg):
        print "Got an arg", arg

But when I was playing w/ this I didn't use a comma after the string,
perhaps this was my error

thanks for being so responsive ;)
