title: Inputing an identical string multiple times to a function
body: <p>Say I have a function, <code>myfunc(*iterables)</code></p>
  
  <p>and I want to do the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myfunc('abc','abc','abc')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but without repeating <code>'abc'</code> and using <code>n</code> (<code>=3</code> in the above example)</p>
  
  <p>I have tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myfunc(['abc']*n)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However this gives</p>
  
  <pre><code>myfunc(['abc', 'abc', 'abc'])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which does not work.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a simple way to do this?</p>
