You could try using Arbitrary Argument Lists.

4.7.3 Arbitrary Argument Lists
Finally, the least frequently used option is to specify that a function can
be called with an arbitrary number of argu-ments.
These arguments will be wrapped up in a tuple. Before the variable number of
arguments, zero or more normal
arguments may occur.

def fprintf(file, format, *args):
    file.write(format % args)
