Thanks guys! The main suggestion seems to be to use setattr(), so I 
might give that a try. But I do like Steve's suggestion that it's better 
to be explicit about each attribute, instead of just accepting a list of 
numbers (but I can't help but feel that for some reason this is better, 
because it's more general). We shall see! :)
