What about using setattr?
for name, value in kwargs.items():
if name in ('a', 'list', 'of', 'valid', 'keywords'):
setattr(self, name, value)
else:
raise ValueError, "Unrecognized keyword " + name
I'd probably turn the list of valid keywords into another dictionary to
make it easy to specify default values for all the parameters as well.
