Include * in arguments to a function for python

Question

I have a requirement to include * in arguments to a function. But it's syntactically wrong like below

>>> xr.bngConfig(get_topo*titan_file=self.inputs['titan_file'])
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression

I cannot change the argument here since bngConfig is calling a tcl function which has -get_topo*titan_file as argument which I can't change.

How can * be included in python call?

xr.bngConfig(**{'get_topo*titan_file': self.inputs['titan_file']})
