Well, there's the built-in argparse which works but is kind of unwieldy. I like the click library, myself.

If you are speaking in reference to functions then you would do something like this:

def addition(num1, num2): # <----- This function will require 2 parameters to be passed to it(num1 and num2)
    sum = num1 + num2
    print(sum)

# call the function like this

addition(5, 6) # <--- The 5 and 6 are the parameters being passed to the function 'addition'

I was thinking you might have been referencing command line, but I didn't want to jump to a more advanced conclusion. Here is some pretty good documentation regarding command line arguments.
