There is no problem with that but ppl will usually write something like:

def function(self, a3Tuple):
    v1, v2 ,v3 = a3Tuple

In a general manner, ppl will tend to use the minimum arguments 
required. However, do not pack values into tuple if they are not related.
A better thing to do would be to use objects instead of tuples, tuples 
can serve as lazy structures for small application/script, they can 
become harmful in more complexe applications, especialy when used in 
public interfaces.
