      ...
I updated again and rebuilt.
>>> def sum(*args):
    ...     s = 0
    ...     for x in args: s = s + x
    ...     return s
    ... 
    >>> sum(2,3,4)
    9
    >>> sum(*[2,3,4])
    9
    >>> x = (2,3,4)
    >>> sum(*x)
    9
    >>> def func(a, b, c):
    ...     print a, b, c
    ... 
    >>> func(**{'a':2, 'b':1, 'c':6})
    2 1 6
    >>> func(**{'c':8, 'a':1, 'b':9})
    1 9 8
    >>>
*cool*.
But most importantly, IMO:

class SubClass(Class):
	def __init__(self, a, *args, **kw):
		self.a = a
		Class.__init__(self, *args, **kw)

Much neater.
