it sounds like everything you're doing would be cleaned up
by placing all the arguments into a sequence for dictionary.

i can't think of a situation where it would be preferrable
for 200+ individual arguments, and opposed to just using a
list of values

read up on maps and lists/tuples, it won't be difficult
to get it working.

def func1(list_of_values):
    pass

def func2(map_of_values):
    pass


list_with_many_members = range(364)
func1(list_with_many_members)

map_with_few_members = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3}
func2(map_with_few_members)
