You would use setattr to bind a name that you don't know:
for pin in self.pin:
setattr(self,pin.Name,pin.Value)
However, I'm not sure why you're using a dictionary in this way. I don't
totally understand the context, so I may be wrong, but I would code it more
like this:
class Power_Supply(device):
pins = {'GND':(_DIG_OUT,_par2),'VCC':(_DIG_OUT,_par33)}
def __init__(self):
for pin in pins.items(): #pin will be key,value
setattr(self,pin[0],pin[1])
or even:
class Power_Supply(device):
pins = {'GND':(_DIG_OUT,_par2),'VCC':(_DIG_OUT,_par33)}
def __init__(self):
self.__dict__.update(pins)
#self.__dict__ is the name mapping for any object, update will insert any
new values from a new dictionary into the old one
