Interesting that both Ron and Alex made the same mistake.  Hmmm, makes
me wonder if they are two people or not...

If args is a tuple, it should be:

  func(*args)

If you want the full generality and use keyword args:

  func(*args, **kwargs)

kwargs would be a dictionary with string keys.

E.g.,

  execfunc = {'key1':(func1, (1,), {'keyarg': 42})}
