Insertin **keywords into a class

[Mike C. Fletcher]

self.kw = keywords[kw] sets the attribute named 'kw'

setattr( self, kw, keywords[kw] ) would work, as would

self.__dict__.update( keywords ), though it would be somewhat scary for
security-paranoid folks ;) .

Enjoy,
Mike

cCan you please tell me why the following code snippet doesn't update the
value of radius?


class myClass:
   def __init__(self, *arguments, **keywords):
      self.radius = 0.0
      for kw in keywords.keys():
         print kw, ":", keywords[kw]
         self.kw = keywords[kw]
      print "self.radius =", self.radius


b = myClass(radius = 1.0)
