how to repeat function definitions less

[alex goretoy]

i did this because this will read colors into a nested variable

How would i make this work the way you suggest? I already have it working
now :)

Not able to set to dict value with setattr, how to do this too(sorry if off
subject)?

I can set it like this:

                    for i in self.opt['properties'].keys():
                        self.opt[i] = getattr(self.opt['properties_object'],
i)
but not like this:
                    for i in self.opt['properties'].keys():
                        setattr(self, opt[i],
getattr(self.opt['properties_object'], i))
