Ah, it's even simpler than that, turns out I've been significantly 
overcomplicating things, I can just set the class attributes by calling 
classname.attributename = whatever once at the start of my script. The 
one thing I might need to change as the server runs is the paths 
dictionary but dicts are mutable so that's no problem and I don't need 
to inject any data into the instances at all. I'm guessing I can 
subclass that easily now too - happy days!

Well, far from wasted time it's been a very educational diversion, cheers :)
