The declarative_base sets up an __init__ function that accepts initial values
as keyword arguments, so you can write something like:
call_record = CallRecord(a=123, b=456)
In Python, you can call a function with keyword arguments from a dictionary
using the “**” syntax:
args = {‘a’: 123, ‘b’: 456}
call_record = CallRecord(**args)
Hope that helps,
