Python passing multiple parameters to functions
Hi,

I am a beginner in python programming. In my python script have a main function which calls several other functions. The main function gets its input by reading lines from a input text file. I call the main function for every line in input text file through a loop.

Code:
def main(line):
var1 = line.split('=')[1]
var2 = line.split('=')[2]
var3 = line.split('=')[3]
var4 = line.split('=')[4]
var5 = line.split('=')[5]
var6 = line.split('=')[6]

subfunc1(var2,var3,var4,var5,var6)
subfunc2(var1,var2,var3,var4,var5)
subfunc3(var1,var2,var3,var4,var5)
subfunc4(var1,var2,var4,var5,var6)
subfunc5(var1,var2,var3,var4,var5)
subfunc6(var1,var2,var4,var5,var6)

#Main
#input data is read as list with name inputlines
 
for line in inputlines:
main(line)

How can I avoid passing multiple variables to the subfunction and at same time how can I avoid the split operation in all these subfunctions.
