Question

I am trying to create a class with lots of attributes (about 10). Is there a prettier (more Pythonic) way to initiate the class than:

class myClass:
def __init__(self,atributeA,atributeB,atributeC)
   self.atributeA=atributeA
   self.atributeB=atributeB
   self.atributeC=atributeC

and is there a better way to make a class instance than

thisInstance=myClass(valueA,valueB,valueC)

Answer 1

Well, you could use keyword arguments. It would be as simple as:

thisInstance=myClass(atributeA=valueA, atributeB=valueB, atributeC=valueC)

One of the advantages of this is that you can pass the values in any order you want.

You don’t even have to modify the class definition at all.
