For that function, call:
print adder(first=1, second=2, third=3)
A better function definition for python 2.4 would be:
def adder(**varargs):
return sum(varargs.values())
And a better function definition without using sum would be:
def adder(**varargs):
values = varargs.values()
if values:
total = values[0]
for element in values[1:]:
total += element
return total
else:
return 0
