I think so :-)

I think you could simply use the special object attribute __dict__. It
holds a dictionary of all properties and their values.
>>> class Something:
... def __init__(self, item1, item2, item3, item4, item5):
... self.item1 = item1
... self.item2 = item2
... self.item3 = item3
... self.item4 = item4
... self.item5 = item5
...
>>> s = Something(42,52,55,1,54)
>>> s.__dict__
{'item2': 52, 'item3': 55, 'item1': 42, 'item4': 1, 'item5': 54}
