Or, possibly more readably:

    def myfunc(a, b, *keydicts):
        od = OrderedDict((k, v) for keydicts in keydicts for k, v in keydict.items())

    value = myfunc(foo, bar, {'a': 1}, {'z': 2})

Not as clean as passing a single dict literal, or a sequence of keywords, but still clearly a sequence of key-value pairs rather than just a sequence of sequences...
