Basically, I want to take a

Dictionary like { "a":"bar", "b":"blah", "c":"abc", "d":"nada" }

and use it to set variables (in an Object) which have the same name as a key in the dictionary.

class Foo(Object)
{
    self.a = ""
    self.b = ""
    self.c = ""
}

So in the the end self.a = "bar", self.b = "blah", etc... (and key "d" is ignored)

Any ideas?
