Dont understand the lambda in here() and root()

Hi , I have not used labmdas much and am a little confused by the lambdas for here and root .

The part that I am confused about is the * x in the lambda parameter definition

here = lambda * x: os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(file)), *x)

What is does the * space x mean.

Sorry for pre-emptively asking the question. I tested it out and * space x means the same as *x which is a variable list of arguments like *args normally used in function definition examples

So the above lambda is the same as

here = lambda *x: os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(file)), *x
