Just a couple of days ago I have checked in support for this into the 
trunk (it's too late for the upcoming 36 release, but should be part of 
the next one). With that, you will be able to do

void call(boost::python::object callable)
{
  boost::python::list args;
  // ... now fill the list

  callable(*args);
}
