No it doesn't, it _raises_ an exception. This is a function that returns
an error:

def function():
    """Returns an error."""
    return Error()  # defined elsewhere

But to answer your question:

It's a little bit messy, but this works:

>>> f(*(g() + (10,)))
13

This is probably easier to read:

>>> t = g() + (10,); f(*t)
13
