how about checking the FAQ?

    http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html#4.31
    How do I call a function if I have the arguments in a tuple?

    Use the built-in function apply().

for the full story on apply, see the fine manual:

    http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html

in 2.0, you can also use syntactic sugar: func(*args, **kw) is
the same thing as apply(func, args, kw).
