What do you think PEP227 (statically nested scopes) has to do 
with this whole issue?

And you probably meant 'vars(self).update(params)'.

But anyway, you could do

    def someFunction(self, **params):
        for key,value in params:
            setattr(self, key, value)
and 

    def someFunction(self, **params):
        self.__dict__.update(locals())

and don't have to worry much :-)
