Re: Configuring an object via a dictionary

Hi,
 I am initialising an object via the following:
      def __init__(self, config):
          self.connection = None
          self.source_name = config['source_name']
         self.server_host = config['server_host']

However, with a view to asking forgiveness rather than
permission, is there some simple way just to assign the dictionary
elements which do in fact exist to self-variables?

class Foo():
         def __init__(self, config):
                 for key, val in config.iteritems():
                         setattr(self, key, val)
f = Foo({'cat': 'dog'})
print(f.cat)
(outputs 'dog')
