Actually this is very similar in Python:

def fun1(*args):
   # now you have all arguments in the list args
   pass
fun1(1,2,3)


and the inverse:

def fun2(a,b,c):
    pass

list=[1, 2, 3]
fun2(*list)

That'd be in Tcl

proc fun1 {args} {
}

fun1 1 2 3

proc fun2 {a b c} { }

set list "1 2 3"
fun2 {*}$list
