[ZODB-Dev] Schema definition

[Paolo Losi]

I'm back again :-)
stop me if you think you had enough :-)

I'm defining complex objects (lots of attributes).

Instead of using the standard approach:

class Test:
	def __init__(self, a1=None, a2="Default Value):
		self.a1 = a1
		self.a2 = a2

I'm thinking of:

Class Test:
	a1 = None
	a2 = "Default"
	def __init__(self,**kargs):
		for attribute in kargs.keys():
			setattr(self,attribute,kargs[attribute])

This allows me to avoid writing the same attribute name three times :-)

Do you see any drawbacks? Does there exist a common practice for schema
definition? Does there exist a "zodb best practices" document?

	Thanks again and ciao
