Hi there
I'm being very dumb ... how can I simplify this fragment?
if arglist:
arglist.pop(0)
if arglist:
self.myparm1 = arglist.pop(0)
if arglist:
self.myparm2 = arglist.pop(0)
if arglist:
self.myparm3 = arglist.pop(0)

If they're arbitrarily named attributes of the "self", you could do
something like
for attr in ("myparm1", "myparm2", "myparm3", ...):
if arglist:
setattr(self, attr, arglist.pop(0))
else:
break
-tkc
Or something like (untested):
for name, value in zip(["myparm1", "myparm2", "myparm3"], arglist):
setattr(self, name, value)
arglist = [] #if you care how it ends up
