| If you need to have more list why not using a dictionary of lists where key is the name and value is the list?
lists = {"list1" : [0,1,2] , "list2" : [2, 3 ,4]}

A simpler solution could be to put your name into the list and split it inside your function:
foo = ["foo", 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
def my_func(lst):
name = lst[0]
data = lst[1:]

by now i'm totally convinced of that. mainly because at my newbie stage,
i'm in no condition to even think of anything more sophisticated than
that...
thanks to all that responded! i think it would be a good idea to subscribe
to a python-specific mailing list. i'm having great fun learning the
language, and i'm liking it very much so far. this is the first problem i
encounter where i would have wished for a more direct and elegant solution.
best,
