You can also use a blank class instance, and update its __dict__
member with the dictionary you design.
>>> class A: pass
...
>>> d= { 'x1': 0, 'x2': set( ) }
>>> A.__dict__
{'__module__': '__main__', '__doc__': None}
>>> A.__dict__.update( d )
>>> A.__dict__
{'x2': set([]), '__module__': '__main__', 'x1': 0, '__doc__': None}
>>> A.x1
0
>>> A.x2
set([])
>>>
I agree that locals( ) shouldn't necessarily be read-only, and I
believe it would extend the power of Python if it weren't.
