Proper loop header to drop into a loop based on parameters entered into a function

I am writing a python function that searches a file for classes that meet the requirements specified by the function's arguments and to put them into a list. I have found a somewhat convoluted way to generate the correct lists if all arguments are given, but I can't figure out how to make the function work properly if only a few of the arguments are entered. How would I create a loop header that will initialize if only X number of parameters are entered? Or, if this is a poor question, what alternatives are there? Thank you.



The function as it is currently written is as follows:
