Works for me:

Python 2.1.1 (#1, Aug 13 2001, 19:37:40) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-96)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> def MyFkt(A,B,C): 
...     print A, B, C
... 
>>> params = {'A':5,'B':8,'C':9}
>>> apply(MyFkt,(),params)
5 8 9
>>> 

You can also use:

>>> MyFkt(**params)
5 8 9
>>>
