This sets the 'key' attribute of self to the value of the keyword. You 
want to use the value of of key as the attribute name. You can do this 
with setattr():

   setattr(self, key, kwargs[k])

You can also update all the kwargs at once with
   self.__dict__.update(kwargs)

A more specific description of the problem is often helpful; for best 
results copy and paste the exact error message, including the traceback, 
into your email.
