You can pass lists or tuples for options which accept multiple values,
e.g.:

	grass.run_command("g.region", rast = (output[2], output[3]), res= t_srx)
or:
	grass.run_command("g.region", rast = [output[2], output[3]], res= t_srx)
or:
	grass.run_command("g.region", rast = output[2:4], res= t_srx)

[The last one requires that "output" is a list or tuple and not e.g. 
an array.]

For a tuple, you need the parentheses to prevent the comma from being
treated as an argument separator.
