I'll try...

Here is range with three explicit arguments
  >>> range(1, 10, 2)
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]

Here is range with the arguments supplied in a list; it does the same thing
  >>> args = [1, 10, 2]
  >>> range(*args)
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]

Here is an example with zip(). zip() normally takes multiple arguments, this makes it use elements 
of a single list:
  >>> l=[ [1,2], [3,4], [5,6] ]
  >>> zip(*l)
[(1, 3, 5), (2, 4, 6)]
