The easiest solution is to do the formatting on the python side:

qual= ObjectModel.EOQualifier.qualifierWithQualifierFormat_('fund = %s 
and date >= %s'%(fund,now60))

It is possible to write C code that would allow you to pass in a 
variable number of arguments, but you would have to implement most of 
the format-string parsing in the wrapper.
