That's easy: Just Don't Do It.
Instead of some horribly contorted code converting key,item in kwargs into
self.key = item, just do the simple, obvious thing:
self.kwargs = kwargs
and then access the values with self.kwargs[key].

If you are worried about excessive use of quotation marks, you can always
define some constants to use:
NAME = 'name'
EMAIL = 'email'
NUM = 'num'
if self.kwargs[NAME]is None:
self.kwargs[NAME] = "Anonymous"
The benefit of this is that when you change your web form to use "number"
instead of "num", you only have to change your code in one place.
