Hi Xavier, thanks for the reply,

In this case I am setting attributes of an instantiated class, so the 
original class might go something like

class Test
    attr1 = some default value
    attr2 = another default value
    attr3 = yet another default value
    etc.

and the instantiated class might go something like

Test2 = Test()
Test2.attr1 = runtime value
Test2.attr2 = another runtime value
etc.

Regards,
Alan
