Mostly, I write them in one or two lines, e.g.

    def __init__(self, id, kind, person, feedname):
        self.id, self.kind, self.person = id, kind, person

(Sometimes I break after the "=".)  Still, I don't think that this
at-most-once-per-class use case justifies a special syntax (whether
within the current language or not) that everyone else has to learn,
too.

Tschö,
Torsten.
