SyntaxError: only named arguments may follow *expression - How to do in Python 2

Question

My Python version is 2.7 and I am using this code:
 df1.select(*[x for x in df1.columns if x!='fields'], F.col("fields.*")).show()

But I got this error:
  File "<ipython-input-16-3d81a8b987ed>", line 1
    df1.select(*[x for x in df1.columns if x!='fields'], F.col("fields.*")).show()
SyntaxError: only named arguments may follow *expression

How can I modify my code to make it work in Python 2? Thanks.

Try by passing col on both of your expressions in .select
df1.select(*[F.col(x) for x in df1.columns if x!='fields'], F.col("fields.*")).show()

#or without col in .select

df.select("fields.*",*[x for x in df.columns if x !='fields']).show()

Try appending your select expression to list comprehension.
expr = [x for x in df1.columns if x!='fields']+[F.col("fields.*")]
df1.select(*expr).show()
