This is not a good use case for exec. Use setattr:
for param in initial:
setattr(self, param, initial[param])
Or better yet, just update the instance dict:
self.__dict__.update(initial)
But this misses the OP's point. The issues was that the OP didn't want
to write a, b, c and d again. Not only does this proposal make you
write them again, it makes you write them again twice!
