Is it possible to use iterated values as method argument values?

Question

I am working in Blender and Python 3.x.

I would like to use the iterated values of:

list(itertools.product([0,1,2,3], repeat = 3))

>>> [(0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1), (0, 0, 2), (0, 0, 3), ... (3, 3, 2), (3, 3, 3)]

(64 total products/permutations) And insert their respective values, one set at a time, into the following method:

def vid(h,j,k):
    m = h
    s = j
    b = k

Is it possible to accomplish this with some form of a loop so that, say, (0, 0, 0) can be inserted into (h, j, k), over and over again, until all 64 products/permutations have been inserted?

Apologies if this seems like a silly set of questions or is in any way unclear. Just starting out here on the ol' stack and I am rather stuck on this problem!

If you want to capture the return values of vid in a iterator, you could use itertools.starmap:

itertools.starmap(vid, itertools.product([0,1,2,3], repeat = 3)))

or (for a list) you could call list on the iterator, or use a list comprehension:

[vid(*tup) for tup in itertools.product([0,1,2,3], repeat = 3)]

If you simply wish to call vid for each tuple, you could use a for-loop:

for tup in itertools.product([0,1,2,3], repeat = 3):
    vid(*tup)
