from dict to member vars...?

[Christopher J. Bottaro]

Hello,

Lets say I have a class instance with the following member vars: var1, x,
size. Now lets say I have dict with the following keys: var1, x, size.
Is there an easy way to *automatically* assign all the values in the dict
to corresponding (member) vars of the same name as the dict keys?

Thanks for the help.

d = dict(...)

for key, val in d.items():
setattr(o, key, val)

If class is a new style class, you can do it this way:

instance.__dict __.update(some_ dictionary)

You can do this for instances of either classic and newstyle classes,
_except_ newstyle classes which define __slots__ ...
