Indeed. The right way is: vars(self).update(kwargs) although that doesn't work if self is written to use __slots__ instead of having a __dict__. You can even (almost) get this same effect and still have named parameters: def __init__(self, fe, fi, fo, fum, spam, eggs, foo, bar, baz): vars(self).update(locals()) del self.self -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
