That could temporarily bind those attributes but it shouldn't
persistently mutate the object.

How about:

    class Server(object):
         def __init__(self, host, port, protocol, bufsize, timeout):
            self.(host, port, protocol, bufsize, timeout) = \
                  host, port, protocol, bufsize, timeout

That's fairly explicit yet cuts down the total amount of boilerplate.
