I'm not sure any of the other responses actually answered the question, 
which I think was meant to be, given a tuple l=3,4,5 how do you pass that 
tuple to the function f so that b simply gets the tuple. The answer is that 
you try:

   >>> f(*l)
   (3,4,5)

If that doesn't work, then you upgrade to a more recent version of Python. 
If you (or your users) really can't upgrade you should use 'apply'.
