Passing an array/list into a Python function

I've been looking at passing arrays, or lists, as Python tends to call them, into a function.

I read something about using *args, such as:

def someFunc(*args)
    for x in args
        print x

But not sure if this is right/wrong. Nothing seems to work as I want. I'm used to be able to pass arrays into PHP function with ease and this is confusing me. It also seems I can't do this:

def someFunc(*args, someString)

As it throws up an error.

I think I've just got myself completely confused and looking for someone to clear it up for me.

def sumlist(items=[]):
    sum = 0
    for i in items:
        sum += i

    return sum

t=sumlist([2,4,8,1])
print(t)
