Looks like perfectly legitimate code to me and 'for' is meant to do
exactly this, execute something N times.

However, you can always to something like this:

In [28]: def f(a, b, c):
    ...:     print(a, b, c)
    ...:

In [29]: def repeat(func, times, *args):
    ...:     for _ in range(times): func(*args)
    ...:

In [30]: repeat(f, 6, 1, 2, 3)
(1, 2, 3)
(1, 2, 3)
(1, 2, 3)
(1, 2, 3)
(1, 2, 3)
(1, 2, 3)
