for in a parameter function python - zip dynamic

I have dynamic zip() function call:

zip(id, value[0], value[1], value[2], value[3], value[4])

Value has a dynamic length: it could contain 3 or 4 or 7 elements, etc. Is there a way I can make the zip() function dynamic and work with a variable number of elements from value?

e.g. pseudo code:

zip(id, for i in range(0,len(value)): value[i])

Use the *args call syntax:

zip(id, *value)

Prepending value with * tells Python to apply each entry in value as a separate argument to zip().
