That would only work if '*path' had exactly the correct number of
components, no more no less, which is probably not what you'd want.

Probably something closer to:

argspec = inspect.getargspec(self._q_lookup)
if argspec[1]: # if _q_lookup accepts a variable argument list
~  obj = self._q_lookup(component, *path)
else: # pass component + as much of path as possible
~  obj = self._q_lookup(component, *path[:len(argspec[0]) - 2])

There are still a few cases not handled by the above, but it will handle
the case where you have "sub-directories" beyond the 3 date components
from the example.
