Thanks!

Talking about this, or at least attempting to describe these sorts of things
to other people really helps the brain!

Sure, why not?

  >>> class Body:
         def __init__(self):
             self.modifiers = {}  # define thingamabobs here


  >>> b = Body()
  >>> b.modifiers
  {}
  >>> b.modifiers['fat content'] = 20
  >>> class Process:

         def checkfat(self, body):
            bmods = body.modifiers
            if 'fat content' in bmods:  # fat checker
                 if bmods>15:
                    print "Sorry, too fat"
            else:
                print 'OK, normal'      # default even if no value


  >>> p = Process()
  >>> p.checkfat(b)
  Sorry, too fat
  >>> b2 = Body()
  >>> p.checkfat(b2)  # b2 has no fat content thingamabob
  OK, normal
