This may help - you can pass all arguments as a 
dictionary:

def some_function(**dict):
  for key in dict.keys():
    print "%s %s" % (key, dict[key])


some_function(foo='bar', baz='quux', spam='eggs')

this will print:

foo bar
baz quux
spam eggs

If you do argument passing in this way, you can queyr
the arguments all you want and even use keynames as
strings of course.  Is this what you mean?
