I've just realized that replacing the contents of __dict__ with the data
retrieved from the file might not be the best way to go since it will get
rid of any of the instance attributes defined in the parent class.
So I've changed:
self.__dict__ = data
with
self.__dict__.update(data)
This seems to work nicely when it comes to avoid the issue. In any case,
I'm still interested on hearing your thoughts about the approach.
Cheers,
