I'm creating mulitple instances, putting them in a list, iterating
through the list to send them to some functions where process them
with some instance specific parameters. Something along the lines of:

bob = someobject()
harry = someobject()
fred = someobject()

parameterdict = {'bob':(0,1,2),'harry':(3,4,5),'fred':(6,7,8)}
people_list = (bob, harry, fred)

for person in people_list:
  add_parameters(person)

def add_parameters(person)
  mytuple = parameterdict[??????instance.name????]
  person.x = mytuple[0]
  person.y = mytuple[1]
  person.z = mytuple[2]

... alternatively there is probably a very much easier way of doing
it.
