Dear Experts,
When writing large classes, I sometimes find myself needing to copy a
lot of parameters from the argument of __init__ into self. Instead of
having twenty lines that all basically say something like self.x = x, I
often use __dict__ via something like:
class example:
def __init__(self,a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n):
for name in
['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n']:
self.__dict__[name] = locals()[name]
This saves a lot of code and makes it easier to see what is going on,
but it seems like there should be a better idiom for this task. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
-Emin
