Simple problem with dicT in Python

Question

I have this dicT in my code that contain some positions.

position = ['712,352', 
            '712,390', 
            '622,522']

when I'm trying to run this part

def MouseMove(x,y):
    ctypes.windll.user32.SetCursorPos(x,y)

with MouseMove(position[0]), the compiler says to me that I need 2 arguments on this command... how can I solve this?

Also, it's dict, not dic. I feel like a dick for pointing that out, but it might save you some unfortunate misunderstandings. :) — psicopoo

-1: It's not a dictionary in the first place. The question makes no sense. — S.Lott

It's not a dictionary but a list. Perhaps you mean to do something like this:

position = [(712,352), 
            (712,390), 
            (622,522)]

MouseMove(*position[0])

That's still one argument. You want MouseMove(*position[0])

@Shady: it takes the item position[0] as a sequence and uses it as arguments to the function call. position[0] was a tuple of two ints so it effectively called MouseMove() with those two as arguments.

@Shady: It's probably how I would have coded it myself (if that means anything). I wouldn't know if it's the best but it is certainly fine in my eyes.
