Python: Iterating through constructor's arguments

Question

I often find myself writing class constructors like this:

class foo:
    def __init__(self, arg1, arg2, arg3):
        self.arg1 = arg1
        self.arg2 = arg2
         


        

Answer 1

the *args is a sequence so you can access the items using indexing:

def __init__(self, *args):
        if args:       
            self.arg1 = args[0]    
            self.arg2 = args[1]    
            self.arg3 = args[2]    
            ...  

or you can loop through all of them

for arg in args:
   #do assignments
