If you need to add a self argument to a list of arguments, (Usually if
you're calling an unbound class method) the typical method is as
follows:

apply( self.ren.Elements, (self,)+cmd, additional_kwds )

Of course this is assuming that cmd is a tuple. If it's a list you need
to do the following:

apply( self.ren.Elements, (self,)+tuple(cmd), additional_kwds

Would you be able to show us what cmd and additional_kwds typically look
like?
