Why do you want to do that?

Whenever someone uses that many variables one always has to ask whether
a table would be better.  But, for

>     def someComputation (aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff, gg, hh):
>        # modify arguments
>        # ----------------------
>         aa = aa.replace (“_” , “”)
>         bb=  bb.replace (“_” , “”)
>         cc = cc.replace (“_” , “”)
>         dd = dd.replace (“_” , “”)
>         ee = ee.replace (“_” , “”)
>         ff = ff.replace (“_” , “”)
>         gg = gg.replace (“_” , “”) 
>         hh = hh.replace (“_” , “”)

you could write (untested):

     def someComputation (aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff, gg, hh):
        def modify(s): return s.replace('_', '')
        aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ff,gg,hh = \
            map(modify,[aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ff,gg,hh])
