Programmatically pass unknown number of parameters in Python

Question

I'd like an easy way to plug in a function and arguments to be executed later so I can have a kind of wrapper around it.

In this case, I'd like to use it to benchmark, example:

def timefunc(fn, *args):
   start = time.clock()
   fn(args)
   stop = time.clock()
   return stop - start

How do I pass arguments where the number of parameters aren't known? How do I find the number of parameters? How would I even call the function once I knew the number of parameters?

Answer 1

Just call the function like this:

fn(*args)
