The code is not usually in class.__init__ (otherwise I would have used

and I'll try and remember it.
The code I was thinking of goes something like as follows (don't have a
specific example to hand, but the principal is the same)...
NewClass = BaseClass()
NewClass.attr1 = value1
NewClass.attr2 = value2
NewClass.attr3 = value3
etc.
So if there are more than a couple of attributes to set for a class
instance, how would you approach it (short of passing the values as
parameters to BaseClass)?
Unless I'm missing something (your use-case, perhaps? ;) in this example
NewClass is *not* a class -- it's an instance of BaseClass, and you are
dynamically adding attributes to it.
It's definitely a switch coming from FoxPro (me, too!), but it is well
worth it once your brain starts working pythonically.
