No. If you are just lazy, try
>>> import sys
>>> def update_self():
... d = sys._getframe(1)
... d = d.f_locals
... self = d.pop("self")
... for k, v in d.iteritems():
... setattr(self, k, v)
...
>>> class A(object):
... def __init__(self, source="test", length=1):
... update_self()
... def __repr__(self):
... return "A(source=%r, length=%r)" % (self.source,
self.length)
...
>>> A()
A(source='test', length=1)
>>> A(length=42)
A(source='test', length=42)
Personally, I prefer explicit assignments inside __init__().
