That __init__ is exactly what was generated in my example above. So
you're mainly objecting to using two-lines? You can make it a one-liner
by writing::
class Person(Record): __slots__ = 'name', 'birthday', 'children'

The only things that know about their own names are class statements
(through metaclasses) so you can't really do it without a class
statement of some sort (which means you'll have to use two lines).

If you're really bothered by quotes, a pretty minimal modification to
the recipe could generate the same code from:
class Person(Record): slots = 'name birthday children'
