how to pass a function name and its arguments inside the arguments of other function?

[jmborr]

I need something like this:

1: superfoo( non-keyword-args, keyword-args, methodname, *kargs,
*kwargs):
2: """non-keyword-args and keyword-args are arguments that
3: apply to superfoo, while *kargs and **kwargs are
arguments
4: that apply to methodname. See below"""
5: object=someClass()
6: result=getattr(object,methodname)(*kargs,**kwargs)
7: return result

The problem is: how can I pass both arguments for superfoo and
methodname in line 1: ? Is it possible?

I don't really understand the problem (could you give some (fictional)
working sample how you plan to use this and leave out the line numbers
for better readability?) but perhaps using traditional tuples and dicts
instead of */** unpacking would be enough? Like::

superfoo(fooargs=(1,2,3), fookwargs={'foo': 'bar},
objargs=('a', 'b'), objkwargs={'x': 5})
