Thank you, Tim, Paul, Steve and Aahz for your suggestions.

I'm now preferring:

     def test_apply(object, argv, valv):
	
         args, kwargs = argv
         expect, exceptions = valv

         # Inside try: except:
         actual = object(*args, **kwargs)

         # Check against expect, exceptions.

best regards
