How to set object parameters nicely?

[allen.fowler]

Hello,

I've got a bunch of code that looks something like:

class MyOb(object):
  def __init__(self, p1=None, p2=None, p3=None, ...):
    self.p1 = p1
    self.p2 = p2
    self.p3 = p3
    self.pN = ...


ob1 = MyOb(p1="Tom", p3="New York")
ob2 = MyOb(p1="Joe", p2="joe at host", p3="New Jersey")

... and so on.

This is fine for only a few parameters, but it's very ugly and a lot
of duplicate typing once I've got 10+ parameters and 5 kinds of
objects.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
:)
