_par2, is just (a reference to) a constant

Why so complex, I need 10 or more parameters (or empty),
and then this becomes completely unreadable.
As this is part of the "user interface",
(I want that completely unknown with Python people,
write these lines),
I think my "pinlist" is much easier.


>         for k in self.pin.keys():
>             self.__dict__[self.pin[k]['Name']] = self.pin[k]
thanks "rzed" ?,
that is exactly what I was looking for:
               self.__dict__[self.pinlist[k][0]] = self.pin[k]
